Cutting polygons? #1

So this doesnt actually cut the polygons and make new polygons? I tried putting a small square polygon on top of a large square polygon and clipping the small one from teh alrge one. but it just spits out two polygons with the exact same vertices instead of something like a weakly simple polygon or convex polygons.

If the edges of the two polys do not intersect, then there is nothing to perform. If one poly is entirely inside another, then that is a hole and the result can not be described as a polygon. You can use polygon clipper to create clipped polygons, but not to make holes. If you are looking for something to return a tesselation of the result of cutting a hole in a poly, you can use a tesselator, e.g. Poly2tri
