如果你正在寻找一个java脚本库，有一个javascript谷歌maps v3扩展的Polygon类，以检测是否有一个点驻留在它里面。

var polygon = new google.maps.Polygon([], "#000000", 1, 1, "#336699", 0.3);
var isWithinPolygon = polygon.containsLatLng(40, -90);

注意:请记住，如果你的多边形是地图中的一个区域，纬度/经度是Y/X值，而不是X/Y(纬度= Y，经度= X)，因为从我的理解来看，这是历史含义，因为经度不是一个测量值。

这似乎在R中工作(为丑陋道歉，希望看到更好的版本!)。

pnpoly <- function(nvert,vertx,verty,testx,testy){
          c <- FALSE
          j <- nvert 
          for (i in 1:nvert){
              if( ((verty[i]>testy) != (verty[j]>testy)) && 
   (testx < (vertx[j]-vertx[i])*(testy-verty[i])/(verty[j]-verty[i])+vertx[i]))
            {c <- !c}
             j <- i}
   return(c)}

简单的解决方案是将多边形划分为三角形，并按这里解释的那样对三角形进行测试

如果你的多边形是凸多边形，可能有更好的方法。把这个多边形看作是无限条线的集合。每一行将空间一分为二。对于每一个点，很容易判断它是在直线的一边还是另一边。如果一个点在所有直线的同一侧，那么它在多边形内。

bobobobo引用的Eric Haines的文章真的很棒。特别有趣的是比较算法性能的表格;角度求和法和其他方法比起来真的很差。同样有趣的是，使用查找网格将多边形进一步细分为“in”和“out”扇区的优化可以使测试非常快，即使是在> 1000条边的多边形上。

不管怎样，现在还为时过早，但我的投票倾向于“交叉”方法，我认为这几乎就是Mecki所描述的。然而，我发现大卫·伯克(David Bourke)对它进行了最简洁的描述和编纂。我喜欢它不需要真正的三角函数，它适用于凸和凹，而且随着边数的增加，它的表现也相当不错。

顺便说一下，这是Eric Haines文章中的一个性能表，在随机多边形上进行测试。
