As a number of polygon functions in the mapping package relate to geometry stuff, chances are that some of that lacking functionality is already present in the [http://wiki.octave.org/Geometry_package geometry package]. In fact there is a discussion about which functions belong where. Matlab compatibility suggests the mapping package, but based on similar functionality the geometry package might also be a good home.

Recent mapping toolbox versions are classdef-based. It is unclear yet if we need to follow this route as classdef support in Octave is still experimental and has no file I/O.
