Polygon Output
⚠️ Warning
This output cannot be saved in reporting.
Overview
The Polygon Output node serves as a storage bridge for a single geometric shape within our flow ecosystem. It captures a specific set of vertex coordinates and "parks" them so they can be retrieved and utilized as an input in separate or subsequent flows.
Use Polygon Output when:
- You need to hand off complex boundary data to a different flow.
💡 Tip
This node functions as a data "keeper." Rather than just displaying a shape, it preserves the polygon data so it can be picked up by Polygon Input nodes in other flows.
Inputs
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| value | polygon | A single set of [x, y] coordinates representing a closed shape to be stored. |
Parameters
This node does not have any configuration parameters.
Example
Flow A might perform a complex segmentation to find the exact boundaries of a storage zone. By sending this data to the Polygon node, those boundaries are saved. Flow B can then use a Polygon Input to retrieve those exact boundaries and run an "intrusion detection" logic without needing to recalculate the zone coordinates from scratch.
