[Qgis-user] Generate the bearing in the attribute table

[Sebastian Gutwein]

Carlos-
Interesting problem-
You might get better responses on stack exchange.
I have the same confusion as Ujaval. Each side of your polygon will have a
different bearing.
If all you care about is the average angle then you can use this
expression  main_angle( $geometry)
This will return azimuth of the polygon in degrees from north.
I don't know how to convert this to bearing in QGIS.
