fence sitting.. what about points on the loop, are they inside or out?

[–] darcy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

no point exists on the loop, a point can only approach the line

Don't we usual define shapes with points? Like the corners of a triangle, since they have defined coordinates. Would a point at the same coordinate be inside or out?

Why not? The line has to be at a point in space, so we can just define any point on the line
