GetPolygonInternalPoint()

Summary

Gets a point internal to a polygon.

Changes

Added to Version 6.0/2012.

int_pt = GetPolygonInternalPoint(array coords)

Argument Contents
coords An array of coordinates that define an area

Returns

A coord with the location of the internal point.

Notes

  • The polygon is defined by an array of coordinates that begins and ends with the same point.

  • While the point will be internal, it may not be the same as the point returned by GetCentroid(), since GetPolygonInternalPoint() uses more elaborate tests in order to ensure a more reasonable internal point.
