point-in-polygon

Determine if a point is inside of a polygon.

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

example

var inside = require('point-in-polygon');
var polygon = [ [ 1, 1 ], [ 1, 2 ], [ 2, 2 ], [ 2, 1 ] ];
 
console.dir([
    inside([ 1.5, 1.5 ], polygon),
    inside([ 4.9, 1.2 ], polygon),
    inside([ 1.8, 1.1 ], polygon)
]);

output:

[ true, false, true ]

methods

var inside = require('point-in-polygon')
