profile_chord_frame — PROFILE frame op

• Data kinds: pairs → table

• Call: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.profile_chord_frame(contour) (to call the implementation directly, import profileops; profileops.profile_chord_frame(contour); from the registry, opsprofile.get("profile_chord_frame"))

• GPU: none (CPU reference implementation only)

Usage

Finds the chord (the 2 points farthest apart). Returns a dict.

Following airfoil convention, the 2 points farthest apart are taken as leading and trailing edge. Which one is the leading edge is decided by the one with the greater local thickness (girth) near that point; curvature is not used because it misclassifies a sharp trailing edge as the leading edge.

Returns:

dict: le / te (coordinates), le_index / te_index,

chord (length), angle_deg (direction of the chord).
