Polygon Input

Overview

The Polygon Input node serves as the retrieval gateway for shape-based data stored within the platform. It functions as the starting point for flows that need to process complex geometric boundaries previously captured by a Polygon Output node.

Use Polygon Input when:

• You are building a flow that needs to consume closed shapes generated by a different, preceding flow.

💡 Tip

This node is the functional partner to the Polygon Output output. While the List node "saves" the shapes, this Input node "loads" them into the current flow for further analysis or filtering.

Outputs

Name	Type	Description
polygon	polygon	The polygon data received from the external source or parent flow.

Parameters

This node does not have any configuration parameters.

Example

Intake of a detection area

A polygon representing a security zone is passed into a flow to check if objects are within its boundaries.

Configuration:

• This node has no configurable parameters.

Result: The polygon is available for spatial analysis nodes downstream.
