PolygonCoordinates

PolygonCoordinates[poly]

gives a list of coordinates in the polygon poly.

Details

  • PolygonCoordinates is also known as polygon vertex coordinates.
  • PolygonCoordinates is defined by the canonicalization performed in CanonicalizePolygon.
  • PolygonCoordinates gives a list of coordinates {p1,p2,}.
  • For a polygon with self-intersections, the resulting coordinate list will also include intersection points.
  • For a polygon defined with repeated coordinates, the resulting coordinate list removes duplicate coordinates.
