<!-- Generated by documentation.js. Update this documentation by updating the source code. -->

## booleanPointInPolygon

Takes a [Point][1] and a [Polygon][2] or [MultiPolygon][3] and determines if the point
resides inside the polygon. The polygon can be convex or concave. The function accounts for holes.

### Parameters

*   `point` **[Coord][4]** input point
*   `polygon` **[Feature][5]<([Polygon][2] | [MultiPolygon][3])>** input polygon or multipolygon
*   `options` **[Object][6]** Optional parameters (optional, default `{}`)

    *   `options.ignoreBoundary` **[boolean][7]** True if polygon boundary should be ignored when determining if
        the point is inside the polygon otherwise false. (optional, default `false`)

### Examples

```javascript
var pt = turf.point([-77, 44]);
var poly = turf.polygon([[
  [-81, 41],
  [-81, 47],
  [-72, 47],
  [-72, 41],
  [-81, 41]
]]);

turf.booleanPointInPolygon(pt, poly);
//= true
```

Returns **[boolean][7]** `true` if the Point is inside the Polygon; `false` if the Point is not inside the Polygon
