outOrientationAngle | Real |
Description
Note that because of inaccuracies of floating-point arithmetic, some geometric operations (including this one) may lead to unpredictable results for degenerated cases. In this filter such a case occurs when an empty segment is given on input.
Examples
 |
SegmentOrientation performed on a segment with parameters: X1 = 50, Y1 = 50, X2 = 300, Y2 = 300 and inAngleRange set to _0_180.
outOrientationAngle returns 45.
