// <synopsis> 
// The LCPolygon class is a specialization of class
// <linkto class=LCRegion>LCRegion</linkto>.
// It makes it possible to define a 2-dimensional region by means
// an ordered collection of points with straight lines connecting
// adjacent points. The last points can be equal to the first one.
// If not, an extra point gets added to get the closing line.
// <p>
// The polygon can be as complex as one likes. E.g. it is possible to
// have a rectangle with an inner rectangle to exclude interior points.
// <p>
// The points defining the polygon do not need to coincide with pixel points.
// At least one point of the polygon must be within the lattice space.
// Points may be outside the lattice meaining that only part of the
// polygon surface is actually used.
// </synopsis> 

// <example>
// <srcblock>
//    // A simple (tilted) square.
//    Vector<Float> x(4), y(4);
//    x(0)=3; y(0)=3;
//    x(1)=6; y(1)=6;
//    x(2)=3; y(2)=9;
//    x(3)=0; y(3)=6;
//    LCPolygon region(x, y, IPosition(2,128,128));
//
//    // A rectangle with an inner region to exclude interior points.
//    // Note that the last point is equal to the first point, thus
//    // the last line is given explicitly.
//    Vector<Float> x(11), y(11);
//    x(0)=3; y(0)=3;
//    x(1)=9; y(1)=3;
//    x(2)=9; y(2)=8;
//    x(3)=3; y(3)=8;
//    x(4)=3; y(4)=3;
//    x(5)=5; y(5)=5;
//    x(6)=8; y(6)=4;
//    x(7)=7; y(7)=7;
//    x(8)=5; y(8)=7;
//    x(9)=5; y(9)=5;
