Given 2 geometries a and b, a.Within(b) is true if and only if the intersection of a and b is a and the intersection of the interior of a and the interior of b is not empty.
- Remarks:
- If the entire point-set of a geometry intersects the boundary of another geometry, the former is not within the latter.
Illustration
The end point of d and the end point of e intersect. a, b, i, j, k, and m are MultiPoints. The concentric circles represent intersecting points. The polygon n1n2n3n4 is within the polygon p1p2p3p4 and vice versa. The LineString q1q2 is within the LineString r1r2 and vice versa. The MultiPoint j is within the MultiPoint k and vice versa. The Point f is within the point g and vice versa.
