Controls
Is a point inside a shape? The ray-casting algorithm shoots a ray from the point in any direction and counts how many polygon edges it crosses: an odd number means inside, an even number means outside. It is the math behind geofencing — triggering an alert when a phone or vehicle enters or leaves a region — and behind hit-testing in graphics. Drag the point, or click anywhere to move it there.
