hi list, is there anybody out there who is good at geometry? I need a solution for the following problem: I have a list of points [p1,p2,...] which form a polygon. The points can be arbitrary, the only restriction is that the lines between the points (where lines are the connections from point n to point n+1) don't cross each other. now I need to find a point that's definitely within the polygon, so I can use it for a floodfill. Does anybody have a formula for finding such a point? The "focal point" (the arithmetic mean of all x and y coordinates) obviously doesn't do it.
thanx, valentin [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Lingo-L is for learning and helping with programming Lingo. Thanks!]
