ShapeMassCenter


Computes the mass center of a shape.

Name Type Description
inShape Path
outMassCenter Point2D

Description

The operation computes the mass center of a shape bounded by a closed path.

Note that if the input path is not a valid shape (i.e. it has at least one self-intersection), the computation may lead to results that are not intuitive.

Examples

The resulting outMassCenters drawn onto the sample shapes.
