PolygonMassCenter


Module: FoundationBasic

Computes the mass center of polygon.

Name Type Description
inPolygon Path
outMassCenter Point2D

Description

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

Note that if the input path is not a valid polygon (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 polygon.
