[mapserver-dev] bug in WFS writer?

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Hey Steve,

Do you remember the bug number or changeset for that point-in-polygon 
fix? It sounds like it could be the culprit indeed.

You're right it could be a problem in TatukGIS theoretically, but in 
this case things were checked also in ArcGIS. So it would be strange for 
2 clients to have it wrong, though still possible.

Mapserver version: 4.10.2.

I haven't got the source data as yet (it's in Oracle Spatial), but I'll 
try to get it.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Bart

The function is key to determining inner and outer rings. I thought I fixed it though, at least in SVN. Since a legal polygon can only share 1 vertex with an edge I updated the code to check at least 2 and one more to break the tie if one happened to be on an edge. That worked in any testing I had done.
