Hi,

Is an OGR::Geometry method which compute an interior point exist ?
I have just found a Centroid() method but "The centroid is not necessarily
within the geometry".

So the centroid of:
POLYGON ((0 0,0 5, 5 5, 5 4, 1 4, 1 1, 5 1, 5 0, 0 0)) is near to (2 2.5),
it's within the polygon.
 _____
|   ___|
|  |___
|_____|

(ASCII fan-art \o/)

For example, with JTS (Java Topologie Suite) we can obtain an interior point
(0.5 2.5).


Thanks in advance for any reply.

Best regards,
Benjamin.
