Hi Nicol,
In the first case, whichShapes uses a rectObj, where the queryByShape
will use any kind of polygon. But I would be interested in knowing the
difference between whichShapes and queryByRect ! Does whichShapes
compute the intersection of bounding boxes instead of shapes themselves ?
Regards,
Guillaume
