symdifference process

[sbalasub]

per definition symdifference should return "a geometry representing the points contained in either one of the geometries but not in both". In the result, I get zoomed in versions of the two polygons I input. Don't think that is the right output.

do you have some screenshots for this one? update: okay I see what you mean now, but I'm not sure what this process is to do actually.

@dwins do you have any ideas of what symDifference does and if what it's doing now is wrong or not?

[dwins]

The outlines should look the same, symDifference is the union of the geometries with the intersection removed.

I used two colors when drawing that example but while writing this up I realized the output will probably just be a single multipolygon.

okay let me put a semi-transparent fill on the polygons that will probably help ;-) thanks for the pointer @dwins
