Ah, this is an important information to document in the class, it means we need to do this externally to ever use as replacement for overlay based intersection. I've pushed that addition to class doc. BTW, is this statement correct in the docs ? [...] the second clips the boundaries of polygons, not the polygons themselves. In the latter case polygons will be converted to polylines if any vertex is outside the clipping rectangle, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ or will be cut out completely. Does it mean fully-contained polygons would be omitted from output ? Test 48 suggests the contrary (the polygon is found fully in output). --strk; _______________________________________________ geos-devel mailing list geos-devel@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/geos-devel
