[geos-devel] Removing multiple vertices

[Paul Meems]

Hello,

Currently, I'm working on improving the Shapefile editor of
MapWinGIS/MapWindow5.
Under the hood, it is using a lot of GEOS functions.

When opening a shapefile we can draw a temporary polygon and use it to
erase a part of the shapefile. We use GEOS::Difference to 'eat' the drawn
polygon from the shapefile.
This works fine.

We now want a similar option. But this time not 'stamp' the drawn polygon
on the shapefile but remove all vertices of the shapefile that are inside
(under) the drawn polygon.

Does GEOS have a method for that or should I just loop through all vertices
of the shape and check if it is inside the drawn polygon and remove it when
it does?

Thanks for any advice,

Paul
