I have a question regarding the intersection of ring concepts using Boost.Geometry. I currently have two overlapping rectangles defined by the following WKTs:
POLYGON((75 75,75 175,275 175,275 75,75 75))
POLYGON((50 50,50 150,250 150,250 50,50 50))
When I perform the intersection of these rectangles, I get the intersection points:
POLYGON((75 150,250 75))
The intersection points do not allow me to compute the area correctly after the intersection. Is there way to get a fully valid ring/polygon out of intersection, so that the area will be equal to the overlapping region?
Thanks!
Will
