Hi,

I already had a look at the Neighbor class, but didn't quite find what I was looking for...

I'm trying to get the neighbor polygons of a given polygon. Finally, I want to make a function that starts with a polygon and selects a random neighboar polygon. Then again a random neighbor of that poly, and so on...

Any tipps? Thanks in advance

Greetings,
Jack

The easiest solution besides the Neighbor class would be to check the other polygons for one matching vertex index. If there is one, see if there is a matching vertex index on either side of it.

I would think that Neighbor.GetEdgePolys() would be best. Pass in each edge in turn to get all of the neighbors. Pass in a random edge to get random neighbors

That seems like a good approach.
Thanks Robert, I'll try that

Cheers,
