Thank you for taking the time to provide your suggestion. We will do some preliminary checks to make sure we can proceed further. You will hear from us in about a week on our next steps.

This doesn't fall into any area covered by .NET BCL. In System.Drawing there is limited support for data structures like points on 2D plain, but arithmetical or geometric algorithms are out-of-scope.

@JeremyKuhne @lonitra do you think we would want to add such a higher level api?

[JeremyKuhne]

@ViktorHofer I think we can hold onto this on the backlog to see what sort of interest there is. We don't have bandwidth currently to dig in ourselves, and this would need to be developed more fully if there is strong interest.

• We'd want to handle both types of points (Point, PointF)
• Should Region or GraphicsPath have helpers?
• What algorithm would we be using
