# POINTS
#
#    A point P consists of an x-coordinate, Px, and a y-coordinate, Py,
#    and both coordinates are floating point values.
#
#    Points are usually denoted by A, B, C, P, or Q.
#
###
#
# LINES
#
#    There are basically three types of lines:
#         line           A line is defined by two points A and B as the
#                        _infinite_ line going through these two points.
#                        Often a line is given as a list of 4 coordinates
#                        instead of 2 points.
#         line segment   A line segment is defined by two points A and B
#                        as the _finite_ that starts in A and ends in B.
#                        Often a line segment is given as a list of 4
#                        coordinates instead of 2 points.
#         polyline       A polyline is a sequence of connected line segments.
#
#    Please note that given a point P, the closest point on a line is given
#    by the projection of P onto the line. The closest point on a line segment
#    may be the projection, but it may also be one of the end points of the
#    line segment.
#

#
# DISTANCES

#    The distances in this package are all floating point values.

#          consisting of granularity points each. If a pair of those smaller
#          lines' bounding boxes intersect, then this procedure returns 1,

    #
    # Consider a straight line going from P to a point far away from both

    #     P must be inside the polygon (since the other end of the line
    #     is outside the polygon).
    #   - If the line intersects with 2 of the polygon's sides, then
    #     the line must pass into one polygon area and out of it again,
    #     and hence P is outside the polygon.
    #   - In general: if the line intersects with the polygon's sides an odd
    #     number of times, then P is inside the polygon. Note: we also have
    #     to check whether the line crosses one of the polygon's
