ShapeMassCenter

Computes the mass center of a shape.

Syntax

void avl::ShapeMassCenter
(
	const avl::Path& inShape,
	avl::Point2D& outMassCenter
)

void ShapeMassCenter
(
	Path inShape,
	out Point2D outMassCenter
)

Parameters

	Name	Type	Default	Description
	inShape	const 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.
