Given a point and a polygon, check if the point is inside or outside the polygon using the ray-casting algorithm.

A pseudocode can be simply:

 count ← 0
 foreach side in polygon:
   if ray_intersects_segment(P,side) then
     count ← count + 1
 if is_odd(count) then
   return inside
 else
   return outside

Where the function ray_intersects_segment return true if the horizontal ray starting from the point P intersects the side (segment), false otherwise.

An intuitive explanation of why it works is that every time we cross a border, we change "country" (inside-outside, or outside-inside), but the last "country" we land on is surely outside (since the inside of the polygon is finite, while the ray continues towards infinity). So, if we crossed an odd number of borders we were surely inside, otherwise we were outside; we can follow the ray backward to see it better: starting from outside, only an odd number of crossing can give an inside: outside-inside, outside-inside-outside-inside, and so on (the - represents the crossing of a border).

So the main part of the algorithm is how we determine if a ray intersects a segment. The following text explain one of the possible ways.

Looking at the image on the right, we can easily be convinced of the fact that rays starting from points in the hatched area (like P1 and P2) surely do not intersect the segment AB. We also can easily see that rays starting from points in the greenish area surely intersect the segment AB (like point P3).

So the problematic points are those inside the white area (the box delimited by the points A and B), like P4.

Let us take into account a segment AB (the point A having y coordinate always smaller than B's y coordinate, i.e. point A is always below point B) and a point P. Let us use the cumbersome notation PAX to denote the angle between segment AP and AX, where X is always a point on the horizontal line passing by A with x coordinate bigger than the maximum between the x coordinate of A and the x coordinate of B. As explained graphically by the figures on the right, if PAX is greater than the angle BAX, then the ray starting from P intersects the segment AB. (In the images, the ray starting from PA does not intersect the segment, while the ray starting from PB in the second picture, intersects the segment).

Points on the boundary or "on" a vertex are someway special and through this approach we do not obtain coherent results. They could be treated apart, but it is not necessary to do so.

An algorithm for the previous speech could be (if P is a point, Px is its x coordinate):

 ray_intersects_segment:
    P : the point from which the ray starts
    A : the end-point of the segment with the smallest y coordinate
        (A must be "below" B)
    B : the end-point of the segment with the greatest y coordinate
        (B must be "above" A)
 if Py = Ay or Py = By then
   Py ← Py + ε
 end if
 if Py < Ay or Py > By then 
   return false
 else if Px >= max(Ax, Bx) then 
   return false
 else
   if Px < min(Ax, Bx) then
     return true
   else
     if Ax ≠ Bx then
       m_red ← (By - Ay)/(Bx - Ax)
     else
       m_red ← ∞
     end if
     if Ax ≠ Px then
       m_blue ← (Py - Ay)/(Px - Ax)
     else
       m_blue ← ∞
     end if
     if m_blue ≥ m_red then
       return true
     else
       return false
     end if
   end if
 end if

(To avoid the "ray on vertex" problem, the point is moved upward of a small quantity   ε.)

Points are represented as cons cells whose car is an x value and whose cdr is a y value. A line segment is a cons cell of two points. A polygon is a list of line segments.

Factor

To test whether a ray intersects a line, we test that the starting point is between the endpoints in y value, and that it is to the left of the point on the segment with the same y value. Note that this implementation does not support polygons with horizontal edges.

Segment solution, task algorithm

The first solution given here follows the model of most other solutions on the page in defining a polygon as a list of segments. Unfortunately this representation does not require that the polygon is closed. Input to the ray-casting algorithm, as noted in the WP article though, is specified to be a closed polygon. The "strange" shape defined here is not a closed polygon and so gives incorrect results against some points. (Graphically it may appear closed but mathematically it needs an additional segment returning to the starting point.)

Closed polygon solution

Here input is given as a list of N vertices defining N segments, where one segment extends from each vertex to the next, and one more extends from the last vertex to the first. In the case of the "strange" shape, this mathematically closes the polygon and allows the program to give correct results.

PNPoly algorithm

This solution replaces the rayIntersectsSegment function above with the expression from the popular PNPoly algorithm described at https://www.ecse.rpi.edu/Homepages/wrf/Research/Short_Notes/pnpoly.html. The expression is not only simpler but more accurate.

This solution is preferred over the two above.

The code below is includes a GUI for drawing a polygon with the mouse that constantly tests whether the mouse is inside or outside the polygon. It displays a message and changes the windows color slightly to indicate if the pointer is inside or outside the polygon being drawn. The routine that does the checking is called inpoly() and it returns a value of one if the point is with the polygon and zero if it isn't.

REXX

Over half of the REXX program is devoted to specifying/defining/assigning the points for the test cases and for the various polygons.

Code was added to facilitate easier specification of polygon sides by just specifying their   vertices   instead of specifying their   line segments.

Ursala

This function takes a point and a polygon to a true value if the point is enclosed by the polygon and a false value if it's outside, using the algorithm described above. For points on the boundary the result is unspecified.
