GetInternalPoint()
Summary
Gets a point internal to an area.
Syntax
int_pt = GetInternalPoint(integer area_id)
| Argument | Contents |
|---|---|
| area_ id | ID of an area |
Returns
A coord with the location of the internal point.
Notes
-
The current layer must be an area layer.
-
While the point will be internal, it may not be the same as the point returned by GetCentroid(), since GetInternalPoint() uses more elaborate tests in order to ensure a more reasonable internal point.
Example
int_pt = GetInternalPoint(19023)
