site-package
s/matplotlib/nxutils.so
FUNCTIONS
pnpoly(...)
inside = pnpoly(x, y, xyverts)
return 1 if x,y is inside the polygon defined by the sequence
of x,y ver
tices in xyverts
points_inside_poly(...)
mask = points_inside_poly(xypoints, xyverts)
return a mask of length xypoints indicating whether each x,y
point is in
side the polygon defined by the sequence of x,y vertices in xyverts
