InteriorPointArea (JTS Topology Suite 1.15.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.locationtech.jts.algorithm.InteriorPointArea

```
public class InteriorPointArea
extends java.lang.Object
```
Computes a point in the interior of an areal geometry.
Algorithm
- Find a Y value which is close to the centre of the geometry's vertical extent but is different to any of it's Y ordinates.
- Create a horizontal bisector line using the Y value and the geometry's horizontal extent
- Find the intersection between the geometry and the horizontal bisector line. The intersection is a collection of lines and points.
- Pick the midpoint of the largest intersection geometry
KNOWN BUGS
- If a fixed precision model is used, in some cases this method may return a point which does not lie in the interior.
