Hello there...
     
     I would like to know if anyone out there has a fool proof method
(algorithm) for determining whether or not a point is inside of a polygon.
Every time I think I've got a way to do it, I think up a polygon that screws
it up.  Could someone send me either a method for doing so, or a some
references on how to do it?
     
     Thanks in advance for any replies.
     
           Bob
