programming - How to check if a 2D point is in a polygon?


Background: I use code from An Efficient Test For A Point To Be In A Convex Polygon Wolfram Demonstration to check if a point ( mouse pointer ) is in a ( convex ) polygon. Clearly this code fails for non-convex polygons.


Question: I am looking for an efficient routine to check if a 2D-point is in a polygon.



Answer



Using the function winding from Heike's answer to a related question


 winding[poly_, pt_] := 
 Round[(Total@ Mod[(# - RotateRight[#]) &@(ArcTan @@ (pt - #) & /@ poly), 

  2 Pi, -Pi]/2/Pi)]

to modify the test function in this Wolfram Demonstration by R. Nowak to


testpoint[poly_, pt_] := 
Round[(Total@ Mod[(# - RotateRight[#]) &@(ArcTan @@ (pt - #) & /@ poly), 
    2 Pi, -Pi]/2/Pi)] != 0

gives

Update: Full code:



Manipulate[With[{p = Rest@pts, pt = First@pts},
   Graphics[{If[testpoint[p, pt], Pink, Orange], Polygon@p},
   PlotRange -> 3 {{-1, 1}, {-1, 1}},
   ImageSize -> {400, 475},
   PlotLabel -> Text[Style[If[testpoint[p, pt], "True ", "False"], Bold, Italic]]]],
 {{pts, {{0, 0}, {-2, -2}, {2, -2}, {0, 2}}}, 
 Sequence @@ (3 {{-1, -1}, {1, 1}}), Locator, LocatorAutoCreate -> {4, Infinity}},
 SaveDefinitions -> True,   
 Initialization :> {
 (* test if point pt inside polygon poly *)

    testpoint[poly_, pt_] := 
    Round[(Total@ Mod[(# - RotateRight[#]) &@(ArcTan @@ (pt - #) & /@ poly), 
       2 Pi, -Pi]/2/Pi)] != 0 } ]

Update 2: An alternative point-in-polygon test using yet another undocumented function:


 testpoint2[poly_, pt_] := Graphics`Mesh`InPolygonQ[poly, pt]

 testpoint2[{{-1, 0}, {0, 1}, {1, 0}}, {1/3, 1/3}]
 (*True*)
 testpoint2[{{-1, 0}, {0, 1}, {1, 0}}, {1, 1}]

 (*False*)

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...
