Polygon

Parse. Polygon

Creates a new Polygon with any of the following forms:

  new Polygon([[0,0],[0,1],[1,1],[1,0]])
  new Polygon([GeoPoint, GeoPoint, GeoPoint])

Represents a coordinates that may be associated with a key in a ParseObject or used as a reference point for geo queries. This allows proximity-based queries on the key.

Example:

  var polygon = new Parse.Polygon([[0,0],[0,1],[1,1],[1,0]]);
  var object = new Parse.Object("PlaceObject");
  object.set("area", polygon);
  object.save();
