[gdal-dev] How to identify a point is belong to a polygon ?

[taibc]

Hi Chaitanya,

I still can't run the method "Geometry::Within". And I got the error: "GEOS
support not enable" when trying use this method.

Please find the attached file for sample code.

About spatial filter, you said that: we can use the spatial filter of the
ogr layer to filter the point features. But, I think it is used to filter
features that geometrically intersect the filter geometry.

For example: if I have one polygon A feature, I can use the method
"SetSpatialFilter" to get other features (Point or Polygon) that
geometrically *intersect* with A.
