BUILT-IN SYMBOL

OuterPolygon[poly]

gives the outer polygon of the polygon poly.

Details

OuterPolygon is also known as polygon outer ring.
Typically used to decompose a polygon as a difference of simple polygons, even when the original construction of the polygon was using crossing curves etc.
OuterPolygon is defined by the canonicalization performed in CanonicalizePolygon.
OuterPolygon gives a polygon of the form Polygon[{p₁,p₂,…},{{i₁,i₂,…},…}], where p_k are explicit coordinates, and i_k are integer indexes referring to coordinates in the list {p₁,p₂,…}.
In general, the result will be a Polygon object representing a disjoint union of simple polygons.
