Are you certain your sample point is inside the polygon? In a case like this it is useful to provide a simple case to test your logic:

use strict; use warnings; use Math::Geometry::Planar; my $polygon = Math::Geometry::Planar->new; my $points = [[0,0], [1,0], [1,1], [0,1], ]; $polygon->points($points) ; print "Perimeter:",$polygon->perimeter,"\n" ; print "Area: ",$polygon->area,"\n" ; for my $point ( [.725,.396], [2,3], [1,1] ) { if ($polygon->isinside($point)) { print "point @{$point} is inside\n" ; }else{ print "point @{$point} is outside\n" ; } }
produces the expected

Perimeter:4 Area: 1 point 0.725 0.396 is inside point 2 3 is outside point 1 1 is outside

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
