Perform a relational operation to determine if one 2D geometry is within another 2D geometry. Geometry A is within geometry B, when A is the intersection of A and B.

Geometry A can be non-simple geometry.

Within operator

Functions

accelerateGeometry

Function

Accelerate a geometry. This method prepares the geometry for faster within 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
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
geometry

The geometry to accelerate.

Returns
boolean

Returns true if the geometry was successfully accelerated.

execute

Function

Perform a within operation on two geometries.

Signature
execute (inner: GeometryUnion, outer: GeometryUnion): boolean
Parameters
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
inner

The base geometry that is tested for the "within" relationship with outer.

outer

The comparison geometry that is tested for the "contains" relationship with inner.

Returns
boolean

Returns true if inner is within outer.

Example
Returns true if a geometry is completely within another
const isWithin = withinOperator.execute(polygon1, polygon2);

Variables

supportsCurves

Variable

Indicates if the operator supports input geometries that contain curves. The value will always be true.

Type
boolean
