GPC Polygon Initialization

Question

I am using the GPC Polygon Clipping lib and want to create a polygon programatically. I only see code for how to create one from a file. How can I do the initialization in my code?

Answer 1

gpc_polygon subject;
int w = 100, h = 100, verticesCnt = 30;

//setup a gpc_polygon container and fill it with random vertices ...
subject.num_contours = 1;
subject.hole = 0;
subject.contour = new gpc_vertex_list; //ie just a single polygon here
subject.contour->num_vertices = verticesCnt;
subject.contour->vertex = new gpc_vertex [verticesCnt];
for (i = 0; i < verticesCnt; i++){
    subject.contour[0].vertex[i].x = random(w);
    subject.contour[0].vertex[i].y = random(h);
}

//do stuff with it here, then ...

gpc_free_polygon(&subject);
