PolygonCoordinates

PolygonCoordinates[poly]

gives a list of coordinates in the polygon poly.

Details

PolygonCoordinates is also known as polygon vertex coordinates.
PolygonCoordinates is defined by the canonicalization performed in CanonicalizePolygon.
PolygonCoordinates gives a list of coordinates {p₁,p₂,…}.
For a polygon with self-intersections, the resulting coordinate list will also include intersection points.

For a polygon defined with repeated coordinates, the resulting coordinate list removes duplicate coordinates.
