this is a FAQ.

define the rectangle that contains the contour.
For each point in that rectangle, calculate the winding number
(cumulative director angle from that point to all points around the
contour). If zero, then point is outside. If (2 Pi) then point is
inside. Works also for non-convex contours.

enjoy.
