Is there a transformer to calculate the maximum enclosed rectangle? MER for label placement?
I'm not looking for bounding box. Rather the largest, axis-aligned rectangle that fits within the polygon. Does this transformer exist? If not, I can provide logic to implement. Please let me know.

What about the option Oriented Bounding Box, does it help?
If not you can implement the logic in Python using a PythonCaller

@loren I would be interested in the logic you would use to implement this.

Oriented bounding box is not a MER of an object.
Striclty speaking a MER would be the largest rectangle that one can possibly fit inside a object, iirespective of orienation.
This is what you ask, but are satisfied with a OBBR?. I assume to orient labels to objects.
There are different ways of finding a MER, involving quite some math. Easiest is brute force tchnique, requiring lots of calculationsteps.
