[Mapserver-users] Re: problem getting bounds of poly shape

[pkishor_98]

replying to my own question -- I might not be drawing a correctly closed shape... 
hence no legit rectObj. Corollary question -- do I have to explicitly close a shape to 
make a legit poly? Assuming the answer to that is a resounding "yes", is there a way 
to test whether a shape is a legit poly other than attempting to get its bounds and 
seeing if anything is returned?
