Description

The filter computes a rectangle with the smallest possible selected feature that contains all points of the given path. The angle of the resulting rectangle is then normalized as in the NormalizeRectangleOrientation filter.

Errors

This filter can throw an exception to report error. Read how to deal with errors in Error Handling.
