## polygonTangents

Finds the tangents of a [(Multi)Polygon][1] from a [Point][2].

### Parameters

*   `pt` **[Coord][3]** to calculate the tangent points from
*   `polygon` **[Feature][4]<([Polygon][1] | [MultiPolygon][5])>** to get tangents from

### Examples

```javascript
var polygon = turf.polygon([[[11, 0], [22, 4], [31, 0], [31, 11], [21, 15], [11, 11], [11, 0]]]);
var point = turf.point([61, 5]);

var tangents = turf.polygonTangents(point, polygon)

//addToMap
var addToMap = [tangents, point, polygon];
```

Returns **[FeatureCollection][6]<[Point][2]>** Feature Collection containing the two tangent points
