Re: Points within polygons
The only other problem I have with distance() is that it doesn't seem to handle calculations very well in high latitudes.
I used it to categorize 16,000 places into regions. I only have 24 places which distance() can't help me find a region for and they are all in high latitudes at various different longitudes.
I use distance() to identify a polygon whose distance to each point = 0, but it can't find a polygon which contains these 24 points. Some of the points are quite close to a boundary between two polygons, but some are hundreds of miles from the boundaries, right in the middle of their polygon.
It's not a huge problem to me as I can obviously manually categorize 24 places but it might indicate some mathematically problem to someone brighter than me.
