Class InteriorPointArea

java.lang.Object

org.locationtech.jts.algorithm.InteriorPointArea

public class InteriorPointArea
extends Object

Computes a point in the interior of an areal geometry.

Algorithm

• Find a Y value which is close to the centre of the geometry's vertical extent but is different to any of it's Y ordinates.
• Create a horizontal bisector line using the Y value and the geometry's horizontal extent
• Find the intersection between the geometry and the horizontal bisector line. The intersection is a collection of lines and points.
• Pick the midpoint of the largest intersection geometry

KNOWN BUGS

• If a fixed precision model is used, in some cases this method may return a point which does not lie in the interior.
