Polygons to points

Algorithm

The Polygons to points operation creates a point for each polygon in the polygon map. Each point obtains the class name, ID, or value of the corresponding polygon. In this way, polygon label points are created. Optionally, you can also obtain label points for polygons which have no class name, no ID or no value, i.e. for undefined polygons.

Label points:

For each polygon:

This means that:

When you are not satisfied with the position of a label point, display the polygon boundaries and the label points in the same map window, break the dependency link of the point map, and use the Point editor to move a label point to another position.
