list manipulation - Adding points limits


With 4 points I set a path where your total length was subdivided into 300 points


Clear["Global`*"]  
points={{0,0},{5,8.07774721},{10,4.24499363},{20,9.28880172}}
Needs["GraphUtilities`"]

n=300;
pts=LineScaledCoordinate[points,N@(#/n)]&/@Range[0,n];


However with this code were not included in the list points. Then with the function below I've added.


pts=Insert[pts,points[[2]],107];  
pts=Insert[pts,points[[3]],177];

I added these points in the correct position because I searched by hand and applied the function.
This is the first question:
How do you find these positions in an automatic way?


With that done, with these new items i created divisions where these points are at the end of each list.
How could I do that these points are reference for these divisions?



list1=pts[[#,1]]&/@Range[107];  
list2=pts[[#,1]]&/@Range[108,177];
list3=pts[[#,1]]&/@Range[178,303];

Answer



This is a answer based on the solution of Michael E2.


I would like to offer my attempts without damaging the response that does not belong to me.


My attempts


Here is the list pts without the values from the list points


Clear["Global`*"]
points = {{0, 0}, {5, 8.07774721}, {10, 4.24499363}, {20, 9.28880172}};

Needs["GraphUtilities`"]

n = 300;
pts = LineScaledCoordinate[points, N@(#/n)] & /@ Range[0, n];

With the function below it is possible to structure the points from the list points in pairs with offset value 1.


Partition[points, 2, 1]


$\left( \begin{array}{cc} \{0,0\} & \{5,8.07775\} \\ \{5,8.07775\} & \{10,4.24499\} \\ \{10,4.24499\} & \{20,9.2888\} \\ \end{array} \right)$




With the function below it is possible to get the lengths between the pairs mentioned above


partialPath = EuclideanDistance @@@ Partition[points, 2, 1] // N

enter image description here



$\{9.5,6.3,11.2\}$



With the function below it is possible to make the accumulated form sum


Accumulate[partialPath]



$\{9.5,15.8,27.\}$



With the function below it is possible to delete the last element of the accumulated numbers list


Most@Accumulate[partialPath]


$\{9.5,15.8\}$




With the function below it is possible to use the last element of the accumulated numbers list


Last@Accumulate[partialPath]


$27$



With the function below it is possible to get the percentage of each path with the full path


porcentPath = {#/Last@Accumulate[partialPath]} & /@Most@Accumulate[partialPath]

enter image description here




$\left( \begin{array}{c} 0.351852 \\ 0.585185 \\ \end{array} \right)$



With the function below, it is possible to separate the points in the points list that are not included in the pts list


valuesPositions = Rest@Most@points

enter image description here



$\left( \begin{array}{cc} 5 & 8.07775 \\ 10 & 4.24499 \\ \end{array} \right)$




With the function below it is possible to identify which positions in should be inserted the values {5,8.07774721} and {10,4.24499363}


pos = Flatten@Transpose[Ceiling[n*porcentPath] + 1]

enter image description here



$\{107,177\}$



With the function below it is possible to define a list to be added values, the values to be added and the positions they should be inserted.


InsertValuePosition[list_, values_, positions_] := 
Fold[Insert[#, #2[[1]], #2[[2]]] &, list, Transpose[{values, positions}]]

pts = InsertValuePosition[pts, valuesPositions, Transpose[{pos}]]

With the function below it is possible to subdivide the pts list in three other lists where the entered values are at the end of the two first lists


FoldPairList[TakeDrop, pts, Flatten@{0, pos, Length@pts} // Differences]
