Parameters

Example

The following illustration shows the result when theModeisCenter of Gravity Point. The transformer calculates the exact distribution of portions of a shape; therefore, some points can actually appear outside a feature.

Usage Notes

If theModeisCenter Point of Bounding BoxorCenter of Gravity Point, depending on the feature's shape, the resulting point may be far outside of the original feature.
