Function to check if an object is inside an object

MSP032

Hi,

Please let me know if there's a function to check if an object is inside another object.
For instance, consider the objects, 'shape1' and 'shape2' in the below figure.

In this case, the object 'shape2' is not entirely inside the object 'shape1'.
Please let me know if there's a built-in function(or the algorithm) to find the same.

Thanks,
Mallikarjun

    Hi,

    Are you aware of abe* functions? These are Advanced Boolean Functions which can handle these.

    A simple way is to do shape2 ANDNOT shape1. You can do this with the abe functions, but also dbLayerAndNot or dbPointArrayAndNot.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

    I used the function 'dbLayerAnd' for this purpose.
