Subject: [ggl] Within polygon detection including the polygon borders
From: Ivan Marin (ispmarin)
Date: 2009-09-03 17:23:57

Dear all,

I successfully compiled the examples and now I'm trying to use the ggl. I
need to check if a point is inside a polygon, and I want to consider de
borders as part of the polygon. Is this possible in ggl? All the tests that
I've made showed me that this is not possible. Am I wrong?

Thank you!

      std::vector <geometry::point_2d> vec;



      std::cout << poly << std::endl;

     std::cout << "point in polygon:"
                << " p1: " << boolstr(within(make<point_2d>(1.5, 1.0),

                << std::endl;

return 0;
