Syntax

POINT_IN_POLYGON((x,y), [(a,b), (c,d), (e,f) ... ])

Arguments

ArgumentTypeDescription
(x,y)(Float64,Float64)Coordinates of the given point.
(a,b), (c,d), (e,f) ...VARIANTAn ordered list of coordinate pairs defining the shape of a polygon.
note

A polygon is a closed shape connected by coordinate pairs in the order they appear. Changing the order of coordinate pairs can result in a different shape.

Return Type

Returns 1 if the given point falls within the formed polygon; otherwise, returns 0.
