Hi List, I'm creating irregular polygons and I don't want to let them overlap. So before adding the polygon to my list of 'good' polygons, I do an overlap check first. When the polygon overlaps with an existing polygon I do a clip difference and add the clipped polygon to my good list.
Sometimes two polygons still overlap after a clip difference. I managed to extract two sets that barely overlap. The first set doesn't overlap anymore after clipping the second one is still overlapping. Set 1: shp = POLYGON ((259449.071118579 543868.469050065,259460.460699968 543878.23006619,259463.245769758 543873.768560297,259455.578068317 543860.876455946,259449.071118579 543868.469050065)) shp2 = POLYGON ((259463.243735243 543856.317227775,259458.0148573 543864.973555723,259462.906856719 543873.198728218,259471.741696109 543861.450443661,259463.243735243 543856.317227775)) shp3 (clipped result) = POLYGON ((259463.243735243 543856.317227775,259458.014857301 543864.973555722,259462.906856719 543873.198728217,259471.741696109 543861.450443661,259463.243735243 543856.317227775)) Set 2: shp = POLYGON ((259073.014081524 544320.092508488,259085.267633063 544321.677731439,259085.942168897 544320.308101652,259074.192475622 544310.983687036,259073.014081524 544320.092508488)) shp2 = POLYGON ((259087.677538158 544333.393525226,259097.260135269 544321.853428493,259090.546766392 544316.354731347,259079.984140336 544327.005127152,259087.677538158 544333.393525226)) shp3 (clipped result) = POLYGON ((259087.677538158 544333.393525226,259097.260135269 544321.853428493,259090.546766392 544316.354731347,259085.267633064 544321.677731438,259085.267633063 544321.677731439,259085.267633062 544321.677731439,259079.984140336 544327.005127152,259087.677538158 544333.393525226)) I'm using C# with MapWinGIS to do the actions: if (shp.Overlaps(shp2)) { var shp3 = shp2.Clip(shp, tkClipOperation.clDifference); Assert.IsFalse(shp.Overlaps(shp3), "New shape still overlaps"); } MapWinGIS is using the GDAL v2.3.3 binaries from GisInternals which in turn is using geos-3.4 MapWinGIS is directly porting its functions to the GEOS functions: https://github.com/MapWindow/MapWinGIS/blob/master/src/COM%20classes/Shape.cpp#L1194 https://github.com/MapWindow/MapWinGIS/blob/master/src/COM%20classes/Shape.cpp#L1302 Before I report this as a defect I want to know if my workflow and expectations are correct. Thanks, Paul
