[mkgmap-dev] Work on is_in branch

From Gerd Petermann gpetermann_muenchen at hotmail.com on Fri Mar 6 08:16:14 GMT 2020

Hi Ticker,

My concerns regarding a merge to trunk are resolved. Anything else you want to change?

Gerd

Hi Ticker,

nice :)
Committed with r4461, with small changes.

This even allows to change the test case for lamp4 from expected="?" to expected="2" (ON).

reg. the distance calculations: I don't remember the details and maybe all is wrong.

See svn log for r3333 : http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/websvn/revision.php?repname=mkgmap&rev=3333
and search the archives for "Great Britain National Grid".

The math behind projections and distance formulas is too complex for me.

Gerd

Hi Gerd

Patch attached:

- inherits your is_in-function_v14.patch

- adds Math.round to Coord.makeBetweenPoint(); Is this how you
indented?

- removes IsInUtil.insidePolygon() and changes callers to use
isPointInShape()

- adds ON tolerance to isPointInShape() - I couldn't work out how to do
this with the winding algo, so changed it to crossing-point, which is
fine for mkgmap polygons.

- add some more tolerances to isLineInShape

- isLineInShape had comment:

// it is unlikely but not impossible that pTest is on boundary :(

and it returned the wrong result if it was. This contributed to the
difficulties with b14 (and b19). I've fixed it and, I think, improved
and simplified the running status setting

- fix spelling of rhumLine to rhumbLine

There are still a couple of places that have complicated distance
calculation and point insertion using, bearings, rhumbline, meter
conversion but I don't think it is worth re-implementing them for this.

I'm slightly surprised how much use there is of
bearing/rhumbLine/Mercator projection calculations. I think real
distance/metre calcs should be "great circle" and internal poly/line
chopping, testing etc should be high-precision polar coords.
