Thanks Mathias. I get what you mean.

Thanks to Ugo too for the JTS package information. I will look into it.

Regards
KJ

Hi,

There is no such method in Java to test this. But have a look at the
Polygon and the Line2D class. The Polygon class implements a
contains(Point2D) and the Line2D implements a intersects(Line2D) method.
The general way of determining if a Line is contained in a Polygon is to
check if the Polygon contains the start and end points of the line and
if the line does not intersect any of the lines of the Polygon. Hope
that is right and understandable since I dealt with this years ago :)

Cheers, Mathias

Hello.

Is their in Java any method to know is a line contains or inside an
arbitrary polygon or shape? Or is the any algorithm or mathematics
formula that can solve this problem?

Thanks.
KJ

Definitely a Java programming question. Nevertheless, I found code 
snippet lying around on my disk. Feel free to try it (I don't even now 
if it works; it might have worked, some time ago ;-) then let us know 
when you improved it.

NB: Follow Curtis' suggestions, and you'll also need to change

   final JPanel gp = this.getCentralPanel();

to match the panel where all your displays live.


   public Printable getPrintable()
   {
     Printable printer=null;
     final JPanel gp = this.getCentralPanel();

     if (printer == null)
       printer
         new Printable() {
           public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int pi)
              throws PrinterException
           {
             if (pi >= 1)
             {
                return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
             }

             pf.setOrientation(PageFormat.LANDSCAPE);
                                         // or: LANDSCAPE

             //JPanel gp =  getcentralPanel();
              Image image = (Image) gp.createImage(gp.getWidth () 
,gp.getHeight());
              Graphics gg = image.getGraphics();
              gp.paint(gg);
              BufferedImage bufImage = (BufferedImage)image;

             //BufferedImage image = DisplayImpl.this.getImage();
             g.drawImage(
                 bufImage,
                 (int) pf.getImageableX(),
                 (int) pf.getImageableY(),
                 gp);
             return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
           }
         };
     return printer;
   }


Cheers,

Ugo
