Detailed Description

Defines a generic 2D polygon.

A polygon is internally represented by N 2D points.

By default three coordinates in the $ (i,j) $ frame (see vpImagePoint class documentation for more details about the frame) are used $ (0,0) $, $ (1,0) $ and $ (0,1) $.

The code bellow shows how to manipulate a polygon.

#include <iostream>
#include <visp3/core/vpPolygon.h>
#ifdef ENABLE_VISP_NAMESPACE
using namespace VISP_NAMESPACE_NAME;
#endif
int main()
{
std::vector<vpImagePoint> corners;
// Initialize the corners vector with 4 points
corners.push_back( vpImagePoint( 50, 100) );
corners.push_back( vpImagePoint( 50, 300) );
corners.push_back( vpImagePoint(200, 300) );
corners.push_back( vpImagePoint(200, 100) );
// Initialize a polygon with the corners
vpPolygon polygon(corners);
// Get the polygon bounding box
vpRect bbox = polygon.getBoundingBox();
std::cout << "Bounding box: " << bbox.getTopLeft() << " to "
<< bbox.getBottomRight() << std::endl;
// Get the polygon surface and center
std::cout << "Area: " << polygon.getArea() << std::endl;
std::cout << "Center: " << polygon.getCenter() << std::endl;
// Check if a point is inside the polygon
vpImagePoint ip(550, 200);
std::cout << "The point " << ip << " is "
<< (polygon.isInside(ip) ? "inside":"outside")
<< " the polygon" << std::endl;
return 0;
