Check if a QPoint lies within a QPolygon

hobbyProgrammer

I would like to check if a QPoint lies withing a QPolygon (so not just that QPolygon contains a point QPoint, since those are only for the outside). I would really like to check if it's within the surface of a QPolygon.
I'd like to check on a right mouse press event.

What's a QVecor[sic.]?
Check what your qv_polygons.at(i) actually is, because the error message tells you it thinks it's a QVecor<QPoint>, not a QPolygon. Ah, I see

A QPolygon object is a QVector<QPoint>.

You may need something like a <static_cast>(QPolygon)? Or possibly QPolygon(const QVector<QPoint> &points) to get a (new) QPolygon out of the points vector, I don't know.

What "outside"? https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qpolygon.html#containsPoint

Returns true if the given point is inside the polygon according to the specified fillRule; otherwise returns false.

That says "inside" .....

@JonB I save my qpolygon's in a qvector. When I try qv_polygons.at(i).contains it doesn't seem to work properly, but I also don't get the oppertunity to use containsPoint.

I get the error:

const class QVecor<QPoint> had no member named containsPoint;

with outside I mean on the edge/corner points that are stored within QPolygon.

@JonB oh that was really stupid. I was meant to check another QVector of QPolygons...
