Hi all,
I was to extract the '_lines' (path) if the lines are contained or on by a
box-like polygon. The result turns wrong if the box-like polygon is
changed from a square (x_max = y_max) to a rectangle (x_max <> y_max).
Please read the example at the end.
Please also notice that although the _lines #2 is contained by both square
and rectangle, it does not appear in both table.
I am wondering if it is a bug. Perhapes I did something wrong?
regards,
