Re: Points within polygons

Hello Francine.

My use of the distance function seemed to put about 15,980 out of 16,000 points in the correct polygons. The 20 miscreants are all in high latitudes, which may be interesting as your example is a long way south too.

I don't use within() because I think it's only an MBR function until MySQL 6. Are your polygons simple enough for you to only require an MBR function ?

Putting polygon coords in anti-clockwise sequence definitely solved problems.

I had to remove altitudes from my polygon coordinates to make distance() work but you don't have any in your examples.

Please let us know whether high latitudes are the cause of the problem - or however else you solve it.

Mike
