Summary

Description
English: Example of the winding number algorithm, as described by Dan Sunday. The algorithm determines if a point is inside a given polygon (with counter-clockwise orientation). It does so by casting a horizontal ray starting from the point, and counting its edge crossings, incrementing 1 if the edge crosses upwards through the ray, and decrementing 1 if the edge crosses downwards. If the resulting number is 0, then the point is outside the polygon. Otherwise, the point is inside the polygon.
Português: Exemplo do algoritmo de índice, como descrito por Dan Sunday. O algoritmo determina se um ponto está dentro de um dado polígono (com orientação anti-horária). Ele faz isso traçando uma linha horizontal a partir do ponto, e contando cruzamentos de arestas, incrementando 1 se a aresta cruza a linha para cima, e decrementando 1 se a aresta cruza para baixo. Se o número resultante é 0, então o ponto está fora do polígono. Caso contrário, o ponto está dentro do polígono.
