Description

self

in physics.PolyShape

The input PolyShape

points

out {physics.Vect}

A table of vertices that define the boundary of the polygon. The vertices are translated to the polygon’s current
world coordinates

Returns a copy of the table of vertices defining the bounds of the polygon. The vertices are translated to the polygon’s current world coordinates.

Note

When a PolyShape has not been added to a Space, it has no world coordinates. In this case, each vertex returned by physics.PolyShape:points() will have x and y equal to 0.
