[fdo-internals] RE: FDO RFC 48 - Polygon Vertex Order is ready for review.

[Orest Halustchak]

This RFC is not proposing to change providers to do edits of geometry, only to communicate it's rules.

Perhaps the term "stricktness" is not the best term.

The capability function is useful for the cases where the vertex order does matter so that clients can find that out from the provider rather than doing hard coded checks. E.g. for SQL Server, if you insert a polygon with the wrong vertex order, you'll get an error.

I guess it depends on your definition of "needs fixed". For most uses, like rendering and editing, the vertex order doesn't matter. For uses where it matters, the code already has to deal with both kinds of winding, so such report will be unnecessary. That's why I keep questioning the addition of this new capability -- it doesn't add useful information for FDO clients, due to already existing incorrect data which cannot be ignored.

Silly question if the existing data is bad don't we need some kind of report to identify what needs fixed or do we have a tool that lets the customer fix the problem polygons?

Thanks for your clarification. Yes. I think Oracle should be enforced too.

Thanks,
