// <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 point can be equal to the first one.
// If not, an extra point gets added to form 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.
// Points may be outside the lattice meaning that only part of the
// polygon surface is actually used. However, at least some part of the
// polygon surface has to intersect with the lattice.
// <br>A lattice pixel is part of the polygon surface if the center of
// the pixel is on or inside the polygon. Note that 0 is the beginning ond
// 1 is the end of the first pixel. Thus 0.5 is its center.
