do point(s) fall in a given polygon?
verifies for one or more points whether they fall in a given polygon
point.in.polygon(point.x, point.y, pol.x, pol.y, mode.checked=FALSE)
point.x |
numerical array of x-coordinates of points |
point.y |
numerical array of y-coordinates of points |
pol.x |
numerical array of x-coordinates of polygon |
pol.y |
numerical array of y-coordinates of polygon |
mode.checked |
default FALSE, used internally to save time when all the other argument are known to be of storage mode double |
integer array; values are: 0: point is strictly exterior to pol; 1: point is strictly interior to pol; 2: point lies on the relative interior of an edge of pol; 3: point is a vertex of pol.
