Detailed Description

Computes the location of points relative to a polygonal Geometry, using a simple O(n) algorithm.

The algorithm used reports if a point lies in the interior, exterior, or exactly on the boundary of the Geometry.

Instance methods are provided to implement the interface PointInAreaLocator. However, they provide no performance advantage over the class methods.

This algorithm is suitable for use in cases where only a few points will be tested. If many points will be tested, IndexedPointInAreaLocator may provide better performance.

Member Function Documentation

isContained()

static bool geos::algorithm::locate::SimplePointInAreaLocator::isContained ( const geom::Coordinate &  p, const geom::Geometry *  geom  )

static

Determines whether a point is contained in a Geometry, or lies on its boundary.

This is a convenience method for

 Location::EXTERIOR != locate(p, geom)

Parameters

p	the point to test
geom	the geometry to test

Returns

true if the point lies in or on the geometry

locate()

geom::Location geos::algorithm::locate::SimplePointInAreaLocator::locate ( const geom::Coordinate *  p )

inlineoverridevirtual

Determines the Location of a point in an areal Geometry.

Parameters

p	the point to test

Returns

the location of the point in the geometry

Implements geos::algorithm::locate::PointOnGeometryLocator.

locatePointInPolygon()

static geom::Location geos::algorithm::locate::SimplePointInAreaLocator::locatePointInPolygon ( const geom::Coordinate &  p, const geom::Polygon *  poly  )

static

Determines the Location of a point in a Polygon.

The return value is one of:

• geom::Location::INTERIOR if the point is in the geometry interior
• geom::Location::BOUNDARY if the point lies exactly on the boundary
• geom::Location::EXTERIOR if the point is outside the geometry

Computes geom::Location::BOUNDARY if the point lies exactly on the polygon boundary.

Parameters

p	the point to test
poly	the geometry to test

Returns

the Location of the point in the polygon
