Good morning everyone,

I thought I'd try this post again, in case someone with a
magic answer had been on vacation last month.  Does anyone
have insights on this?.......

Is there an efficient way to find the "most open" part of a
polygon?  In other words, for odd-shaped polygons, we're
trying to find the location that represents the point
farthest from any edge.  An obvious application would be for
the best label placement (rather than the traditional
centroid).

We could use a "least squares" method against the nodes for
individual polygons but when doing this for hundreds or
thousands of polys, such a process is not efficient.

Anyone have a tool out there that does this?

Thanks.

Darrin
