Hi,

You can use compare tangent angles like this:

int pts [ ] = primpoints ( 0, @primnum );

int index = find ( pts, @ptnum );
int pt = pts [ index + 1 ];
vector tangent = point ( 0, "tangent", pt );

if ( dot ( v@tangent, tangent ) < ch("angle" ) )
    i@group_pts = 1;

Thank you! This is very helpful.

I achieved similar results by using a workaround after posting the question.
