GeometryOps and Rasters mean different things by touches

[asinghvi17]

GeometryOps touches means only boundary, Rasters Touches means GeometryOps intersects

Ops is correct here, although I'm not 100% what touches mean in terms of raster interaction? That's not in DE-9IM.

[rafaqz]

It comes from gdal and R use in rasterize etc where it means to include the pixels that touch the boundary as well as the other pixels, not exclusive of them.

But there's no exported function touches in Rasters right? Just a kwarg.

:boundary: for polygons, include pixels where the :center is inside the polygon, where the polygon :touches the pixel, or that are completely :inside the polygon. The default is :center.

I don't see this as a problem, but if you do, we could deprecate the kwargs for better names used in Ops? :touches becomes :intersects, and :inside becomes :within? :center could be :centroid if we're changing names anyway.

PS. You could change this behavior depending on whether a pixel is a point (:center) or area (:touches or :inside)?

There's a Touches selector, which is the main concern
