 I tried creating a polygon in skill using dbCreatePolygon

Error message:"polygon is reentrant" is popping up!

So,How to overcome this problem and create the polygon using the same points.

 

"Anyone please reply asap"

 

Thanks & Regards,

Sudha

     Hi there,

     

    For sure you can not use "the same points", the polygon coordinates have to be changed.

    The idea is that your polygon is a self intersectin polygon, and it is not OK.

    The best thing that you can do is to check if the polygon is reentrant before creating it,

    and if it is reentrant you jut print the coordinates to find the problem.

    For polygon checking you can use: geIsPolygonReentrant(cellView l_points )
    => t / nil
