}

1

Default parameters, clockwise, closed polygon.

2

Clockwise, closed multi_polygon.

3

Default-construct a multi_polygon.

4

Construct a multi_polygon containing two polygons, using C++11 unified initialization syntax.

5

Resize a multi_polygon, store two polygons.

6

Append point to the exterior ring of the first polygon.

7

Resize a container of interior rings of the first polygon.

8

Append point to the interior ring of the first polygon.

9

Append point to the exterior ring of the second polygon.

Output:

17
