intersects

intersects(geom1, geom2)

Parameters

• geom1: the geometry. This can either be a GDAL AbstractGeometry or a GMTdataset (or vector of it), or a Matrix
• geom2: Second geometry. AbstractGeometry if geom1::AbstractGeometry or a GMTdataset/Matrix if geom1 is GMT type

Returns whether the geometries intersect

Determines whether two geometries intersect. If GEOS is enabled, then this is done in rigorous fashion otherwise true is returned if the envelopes (bounding boxes) of the two geometries overlap.
