ExpandBounds(TheBounds, Amount)
Expands the bounds by the specified amount
Parameters:
TheBounds
Amount - amount to expand the bounds in each direction
Flag=InsideAPolygon(RefX, RefY, Xs, Ys, NumPoints)
Determines if the specified point is within the specified polygon.
This is done by counting the number of line segements from the polygon
that a horiziontal line through the point would intersect with.
If the number of lines is odd, then the point is inside the polygon.
If the number of lines is even, then the point is outside.
Most similar algorithms do not deal with flat lines very well. The problem
is that there can be a flat line to the right of the point. This approach:
- Does not check the start and end points in the FindNumLineCrossingsToTheRight()
function. These are special cased.
- Flat areas are "ignored"
- When the point of interest is at the same Y value as a point in the polygon:
- When the direction of a flat area changes, there is not crossing (peak or valley with a flat top or bottom)
- For non flat areas the approach is the same, if the direction changes, we're on a peak or vally and the number of crossings does not change.
Parameters:
RefX - x coordinate value to test
RefY - y coordinate value to test
Xs - array of x coordinate values, does not need to close
Ys - array of y coordinate values, does not need to close
NumPoints - number of coordinates to test in the array.
Returns: Flag - null
