[jira] [Commented] (MATH-668) Polygon difference function produces erroneous results with certain polygons

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-668?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13192076#comment-13192076 ] 

Thomas Neidhart commented on MATH-668:
--------------------------------------

I have checked the attached test cases:

 - circle test: you remove the outer circle from the inner one, resulting in an empty polygon set, which is correct behaviour. If you switch the two circles, the correct result is returned: a PolygonsSet with two loops: the two circles itself.

 - testdifference2: the described behaviour is implementation specific due to the way the hyperplane is cut when subtracting the two regions.

> For some polygons, the difference function produces erroneous results.  This appears to happen when one polygon is completely encompassed in another, and the outer has multiple concave sections.
