Performs a relational operation to determine if one 2D geometry contains another 2D geometry. Geometry A contains geometry B, when B is the intersection of A and B. A contains B is equivalent to B within A. Geometry B can be non-simple geometry.

accelerateGeometry
Accelerate a geometry. This method prepares the geometry for faster contains operations when the same geometry is tested multiple times (e.g. in a loop with hundreds of iterations). See the Acceleration guide topic for more information.
- Signature
-
accelerateGeometry (geometry: GeometryUnion): boolean
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| geometry | The geometry to accelerate. | |
- Returns
- boolean
Returns
trueif the geometry was successfully accelerated.
execute
Perform the contains operation on two geometries.
- Signature
-
execute (geometry1: GeometryUnion, geometry2: GeometryUnion): boolean
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| geometry1 | The geometry that is tested for the "contains" relationship to | | |
| geometry2 | The geometry that is tested for the "within" relationship to | |
- Returns
- boolean
Returns
trueifgeometry1containsgeometry2.
Example
// Returns true if one geometry contains anotherconst isContained = containsOperator.execute(polygon1, polygon2);Variables
supportsCurves
Indicates if the operator supports input geometries that contain curves.
The value will always be true.
