TestPolygonInPolygon


Header: AVL.h
Namespace: avl
Module: FoundationBasic

Tests whether a polygon lies inside another one.

Syntax

C++
C#
 
void avl::TestPolygonInPolygon
(
	const avl::Path& inSubPolygon,
	const avl::Path& inPolygon,
	bool& outIsContained
)

Parameters

Name Type Default Description
Input value inSubPolygon const Path& Polygon the position of which will be tested
Input value inPolygon const 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.

Errors

List of possible exceptions:

Error type Description
DomainError Empty path on input (inSubPolygon) in TestPolygonInPolygon.
DomainError Open path on input in TestPolygonInPolygon.
