Given 2 geometries a and b, a.Overlaps(b) is true if and only if the dimension of the interior of a equals the dimension of the interior of b equals the dimension of the intersection of the interior of a and the interior of b and the intersection of a and b is neither a nor b.

Remarks:: A Point cannot overlap a Point, and a MultiPoint cannot overlap a Point but a MultiPoint can overlap a MultiPoint.
Illustration

c and d are MultiPoint geometries.

.NET Syntax

virtual bool Overlaps(MgGeometry other);

Java Syntax

virtual boolean Overlaps(MgGeometry other);

PHP Syntax

virtual bool Overlaps(MgGeometry other);

Parameters:

other

(MgGeometry) The MgGeometry to test against this one.

Returns:: True if this geometry spatially overlaps the other geometry, false otherwise.
