Point classification against a polygon with holes: segment extent test · case 03

Points on axis-parallel edges and on vertices are not reported as boundary.

Case contract

Input [point, rings]: exterior ring then hole rings, closed, integer coordinates. A point on any ring edge (exact cross product 0 and inside the closed segment bounding box) is "boundary". Otherwise a crossing-number test with the half-open rule (a.y > py) != (b.y > py) and ray toward +x decides containment: outside the exterior or inside any hole is "exterior", else "interior".

Why this case matters

Parcel lookup, geofencing and spatial joins classify points against polygons with holes; lakes and courtyards must not count as inside.
