point in polygon

[dusadrian]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to check if a point of coordinates (x, y) is inside or outside a polygon (of any irregular shape).

Is there a way to check that in Raphael, by any chance?

Thanks in advance,

Adrian

I'm not sure Raphael has this. I'd be tempted to update to Snap.svg a more modern sister version of Raphael, which has http://snapsvg.io/docs/#Snap.path.isPointInside there's a lot of backwards compatibility, and it supports svg properly with groups etc.

If you still are stuck, there's some algorithms out there for point in poly checking.

Thanks, Ian.

I could not make Snap work into my Electron app, so had to convert all paths to an array of absolute coordinates to use a point in poly algorithm.

All the best,

Adrian
