point-in-polygon

Kishan J: This is a modified fork of James Halliday's point-in-polygon and includes alternative algorithms beyond ray casting because the original library does not include points on boundaries (see issue#2) by adding a third optional param to the main function (see Usage).

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.

Install

NPM

npm install @kishannareshpal/point-in-polygon

Example

const inside = require('point-in-polygon');
const 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 ]

Usage

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

// inside(point, polygon, includeAllEdges)

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. A 2d Array. includeAllEdges should be true if you want to return true for all edges, otherwise false. See issue#2.
