Hello, I need to calculate the biggest rectangle which is contained within another polygon. A sort of inner envelope or inner bounding box.<br>
I found this interesting article: <a href="http://cgm.cs.mcgill.ca/~athens/cs507/Projects/2003/DanielSud/" target="_blank">http://cgm.cs.mcgill.ca/~<u></u>athens/cs507/Projects/2003/<u></u>DanielSud/</a><br>
