usage | var contains = $.geo.contains( { type: "Polygon", coordinates: [[ [-71.06, 42.3425], [-71.06, 42.3475], [-71.04, 42.3475], [-71.04, 42.3425], [-71.06, 42.3425] ]] }, { type: "Point", "coordinates": [ -71, 40 ] } ) |
The contains method determines if the first basic GeoJSON geometry completely contains a second one. The basic shapes are Point, LineString and Polygon however Point and LineString geometries cannot contain other geometries so the only situation that has a possibility of returning true is when the first argument is a Polygon.
If either argument is not a basic GeoJSON geometry object, this function returns undefined.
This function is similar to Geometry.contains in JTS.
