Topic: Point Inside Polyline

[nobody]

I'm using this to check if a point is inside a closed polyline.  It fails in some cased though. Anyone know how I might improve it, or has anything better they might share?

Code - C#: [Select]

1.         public static bool IsPointInPolyline(Point2d[] polypointarray, Point2d mycurrentpoint)
2.         {
3.             var calc = polypointarray.Skip(1).Select((p, i) => (mycurrentpoint.Y - polypointarray[i].Y) * (p.X - polypointarray[i].X) - (mycurrentpoint.X - polypointarray[i].X) * (p.Y - polypointarray[i].Y)).ToList();
4.  
5.             if (calc.Any(p => p == 0))
6.             {
7.                 return true;
8.             }
9.  
10.             for (int i = 1; i < calc.Count(); i++)
11.             {
12.                 if (calc[i] * calc[i - 1] < 0)
13.                 {
14.                     return false;
15.                 }
16.             }
17.             return true;
18.         }
19.
