Mapbox have extented Pole of Inaccessibility function to use in labelling. This function could be very useful to find width of an oblong polygon. https://github.com/mapbox/polylabel. It would be great to see it as transformer.
I am after exactly the opposite of what this transformer does. A circle with maximum diameter that fits inside a polygon (specifically an oblong shape)

Hi there @nilster why not try out the custom transformer called LargestInnerCircleCreator. See how it works for your data set. Try modifying the Accuracy level and see how it effects the results.

@MattAtSafe That is very interesting, albeit a tad processing intensive. Do you have any plans to produce a Maximum Enclosed Rectangle for an arbitrary polygon? ie the rectangle with the largest area (not axis oriented) that fits entirely within the polygon.
