[OpenLayers-Users] Feature.Vector.atPoint ?

[Pierre GIRAUD]

You're right, the atPoint method intended behavior is to check whether
a point in contained into a geometry bounding box. This was
implemented a while ago as an simple way to simulate event handling in
some cases, though it's far away from being perfect.

About 2 months ago, Tim Schaub proposed a real intersection method
support [1]. It's still in progress and help on this would be much
appreciated.

Pierre
