[fdo-dev] FGF polygon

[Haris Kurtagic]

Thanks for answear.
 
I hoped it would be a rule.
I asked this question beacuse in fdo provider I am getting polygon whith
outer ring which is not counter-clockwise
This request comes from MG when it queries for selection of feature.
 
I didn't quite unterstood why enforcing such rule would cause
incompatibility.
 
Haris

Hello, Haris.
 
Nominally, we would refer to the OGC abstract specifications, which has
outer rings as counter-clockwise and inner rings as clockwise for the
upward-facing surface.  Most data sources (that care) use this rule.
 
However, handling of FGF generally does not enforce such a rule, in
order to avoid incompatibility with any data sources that may vary.  Any
enforcement would have to take place in the FDO Provider for a specific
data source.

Hi,
 
Is order of points defined in FGF polygon?
Does outer line string is always in counter/clockwise and inner in ...
 
Is there any rule on which we can count on? 
 
Thanks,
Haris
