Frequently asked question

Why can't I create polygons with an odd number of tangent intersections with SE_shape_generate_polygon?

Last Published: April 25, 2020

Answer

Polygons whose exterior ring has 3, 5, or 7 tangents that meet at a single point, fail to be created with the SE_shape_generate_polygon function.
