I want to know if the point used to trace the minkowski sums is the reference point of the polygon, or the center of the polygon, and what is the center, a simple center of the bounding box of the polygon or a mass center.

I'm not sure I understand your question, but perhaps by "reference point" you mean the origin of the coordinate system.

Hello,

I would like to know how is calculated the center of a polygon in the
minkowski sums function from cgal. This function use the center of the
polygon as the reference point, but I don't know if this center is a simple
center of the bounding box of the polygon or a mass center.

Thanks in advance,
