TestPolygonInPolygon

Basic

Module: FoundationBasic

Tests whether a polygon lies inside another one.

Name Type Description
Input value
 inSubPolygon Path Polygon the position of which will be tested
Input value
 inPolygon Path Polygon against which the position will be tested
Output value
 outIsContained Bool True if whole polygon lies inside the other one, false otherwise

Description

The operation tests if inSubPolygon lies (in its entirety) inside inPolygon.

Due to inaccuracy of floating point representation a point lying extremely close to a path may considered to be on either of the sides of the path or exactly on the path itself.
