Directions


The polygons may have four Directions, which are calculated by the program:

To calculate these Directions, the program divides the polygon into 4 sectors and determines proximity in which sector each segment is.

Consider down your chim image:

North is indicated by the blue line. The sectors are divided by red lines.

Then the segment 1-2 is to North who from within the plot outlines. The segment 3-4 is to South. The segment 2-3 is to East while 4-1 is to West.

The properties of a Directions are:

Property Type Description
Start Integer Number of start vertex
End Integer Number of the vertex
Name Text Name orientation. Can be:
  • North
  • South
  • East
  • West
Description Text Description of orientation
Start Vertex Expansive Start vertex
End Vertex Expansive End Vertex
Length Dimension Side length
confronting List List of confronting side
Segments List List of all segments of the side
