ShapeMassCenter
Computes the mass center of a shape.
| Name | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
inShape | Path | |
 |
outMassCenter | Point2D |
Description
The operation computes the mass center of a shape bounded by a closed path.
Note that if the input path is not a valid shape (i.e. it has at least one self-intersection), the computation may lead to results that are not intuitive.
Examples

The resulting outMassCenters drawn onto the sample shapes.
Errors
This filter can throw an exception to report error. Read how to deal with errors in Error Handling.
List of possible exceptions:
| Error type | Description |
|---|---|
| DomainError | Degenerate shape on input in ShapeMassCenter. |
| DomainError | Open path on input in ShapeMassCenter. |
Complexity Level
This filter is available on Basic Complexity Level.
