A closed shape's corner points and edge segments.
Category: Data | Add menu: Data > Explode Rectangle / Polygon
Breaks a rectangle, square, or other straight-edged closed shape into its parts: every corner as a point, and every edge as its own segment.
Note
The input socket is typed any (grey wildcard), not shape-specific - see Explode Segment for why the whole Explode family works this way.
- Shape (any): the closed shape to break apart.
- Edges (curve): each side as its own segment.
- Corners (point): the shape's corner points.
Corners and Edges come out as separate lists, so you can work on one and ignore the other. Feed Edges into Mark as Seam to flag a tile's boundary, or into Offset to thicken only the sides. Feed Corners into Circle or Point on Curve to build something at every vertex.
