Check or initialize a polygon stream.

Usage
pginit(X {, N=0, {number}E=0} )
X
A closed point-list or a polygon-stream defining one or more polygons.
N
The requested number of simple polygons:
N≤0 undefined, polygons are counted during initialization
N>0 exactly N simple polygons must be contained in X
E
The maximum error for polygon simplification. If E≤0 the simplification is skipped.
Result
A polygon-stream P containing all simple-polygons defined by X. The function failes if:
  • no simple polygons can be found or one of the detected polygons is invalid
  • N>0 and the number of polygons defined by X is not equal to N
