NAME: interior PURPOSE: (one line only) Compute if a point is interior to a polygon DESCRIPTION: CATEGORY: Miscellaneous CALLING SEQUENCE: result = interior(xpoly,ypoly,x,y) INPUTS: xpoly - X coordinates of polygon verticies, must be a vector and really only makes sense if it has four or more points. Note that the first and last points must be identical so that the shape is closed (this is not checked). No check are performed to ensure a sensible polygon. ypoly - Y coordinates of polygon verticies, length of this vector must match xpoly and the first and last points must also match. x - X coordinate of a point to test. May be either a scalar or vector y - Y coordinate of a point to test. May be either a scalar or vector OPTIONAL INPUT PARAMETERS: KEYWORD INPUT PARAMETERS: OUTPUTS: return is a byte-type variable with the same rank and size as the input x,y values. 1B indicates point is interior to polygon and 0 indicates point is outside the polygon. Critical cases are treated as interior. KEYWORD OUTPUT PARAMETERS: CONFIGURATION: COMMON BLOCKS: SIDE EFFECTS: RESTRICTIONS: PROCEDURE: MODIFICATION HISTORY: Written by Marc W. Buie, Southwest Research Institute, 2022/01/29 This program is based on the approach implemented by David Fanning http://www.idlcoyote.com/programs/inside.pro with stylistic changes to conform to my library as well as some feature enhancements for performance improvements, most notably applying a check for trivial cases before doing the full calculation.
