Hello, I have polyogns defined by: var polygon = new OpenLayers.Geometry.Polygon([linearRing]);
Later, when the user clicks on the map, I can get the lat/long of the map click and create a Point via: var point = new OpenLayers.Geometry.Point(lonlat.lon, lonlat.lat); The goal is to see if the point is within the polygon area. I saw that there is a containsPoint(Point) method for the Polygon when I look at the OpenLayers API docs at: http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Geometry/Polygon-js.html This API shows functions, properties, etc that may not be exposed to the regular API which is listed at: http://dev.openlayers.org/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Geometry/Polygon-js.html When I ran my code, I get an error that states that OpenLayers.Geometry.Polygon does not have a containsPoint function. I then tried to use the OpenLayers.Geometry.Polygon.intersects() method since that was listed in the base API docs. This function takes an OpenLayers.Geometry object and since the point is created as OpenLayers.Geometry.Point, I thought that might work. But again, I got the error that OpenLayers.Geometry.Polygon does not have an intersect function. I am at a loss now. This must be a common problem. How can I check to see if my point is within any of my polygons?
