Below is a simpler example.  Here, set2 is a polygon completely
encompassed by the set1 polygon.  Yet the difference function produces
a single polygon that doesn't seem to be a difference in any sense
that I can understand.  How are the verticies of a polygon suppose to
be interpreted?

Thanks,
Curtis


    public void testdifferenceWithHole() {
        
        Vector2D[][] vertices1 = new Vector2D[][] {
                        new Vector2D[] {
                    new Vector2D(-7.2, 3.1),
                    new Vector2D(-7.2, 0.1),
                    new Vector2D(-4.2, 0.1),
                    new Vector2D(-4.2, 3.1)
                }
            };
        PolygonsSet set1 = buildSet(vertices1);
        
        Vector2D[][] vertices2 = new Vector2D[][] {
                        new Vector2D[] {
                    new Vector2D(-5.7, 1.6),
                    new Vector2D(-4.0, 1.0),
                    new Vector2D(-4.0, 2.0)
                }
            };
        PolygonsSet set2 = buildSet(vertices2);
                        
        PolygonsSet setDiff  = (PolygonsSet) new
RegionFactory<Euclidean2D>().difference(set1.copySelf(),
set2.copySelf());
        Vector2D[][] diffVerts = setDiff.getVertices();
        for (int i = 0; i < diffVerts.length; i++) {
                System.out.println("Verts: " + i);
                
                Vector2D[] set = diffVerts[i];
                for (Vector2D vertex : set) {
                        System.out.println("\t" + vertex);
                }
        }
    }
