## Node Properties

### Matrix Mode

Parameter ID: `GV_POLY_MODE`

The **Polygon Center** and **Polygon Normals** output ports can output their respective position or vector values using either of the coordinate systems listed below.

Global

The world coordinate system.

Local

The local coordinate system as defined by the next highest object in the hierarchy.

### Use Deformed Points

Parameter ID: `GV_POLY_USE_DEFORMED`

If you want the node to output the exact point coordinates of polygons that are deformed by deformers, enable the separate **Use Deformed Points** option. You will find this option on the **Attribute Manager**’s Node Properties page. If the option is disabled, the node outputs the coordinates of the non-deformed object.
