Package Exports

point-in-polygon

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (point-in-polygon) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

point-in-polygon

Determine if a point is inside of a polygon.

This module casts a semi-infinite ray from the inquiry point and counts intersections, based on this algorithm.

If you need a numerically robust solution and are willing to trade some performance for it, use robust-point-in-polygon.

example

var pointInPolygon = require('point-in-polygon');
var polygon = [ [ 1, 1 ], [ 1, 2 ], [ 2, 2 ], [ 2, 1 ] ];

console.log(pointInPolygon([ 1.5, 1.5 ], polygon)); // true
console.log(pointInPolygon([ 4.9, 1.2 ], polygon)); // false
console.log(pointInPolygon([ 1.8, 1.1 ], polygon)); // true

methods

var pointInPolygon = require('point-in-polygon')
var pointInPolygonFlat = require('point-in-polygon/flat')
var pointInPolygonNested = require('point-in-polygon/nested')

pointInPolygon(point, polygon, start=0, end=polygon.length)

Return whether point is contained in polygon.

point should be a 2-item array of coordinates
polygon should be an array of 2-item arrays of coordinates or a flat array of coordinates
start is an offset into polygon. default 0
end is an offset into polygon. default polygon.length

The flat or nested is detected automatically. Or you can use the specific methods if you want to skip the check.

install

npm install point-in-polygon
