12663	geometry::equals fails when points differ by small value	anonymous	Barend Gehrels	"It seems the geometry::equals function is very strict when dealing w/ floating point precision.  I have 2 polygons that are the same except for one point (15.0, 10.0) vs (14.9999999999, 10.0), but geometry::equals returns false.  I don't know if this is a bug or the expected behavior.  What is the tolerance and is there a way to specify it?

bg_polygon  polygon1;
boost::geometry::read_wkt(""POLYGON((10.0 10.0,  10.0 20.0, 15.0 20.0, 14.9999999999 10.0, 10.0 10.0))"", polygon1);

bg_polygon  polygon2;
boost::geometry::read_wkt(""POLYGON((10.0 10.0,  10.0 20.0, 15.0 20.0, 15.0 10.0, 10.0 10.0))"", polygon2);

boost::geometry::equals(polygon1, polygon2);  --> returns false
