[postgis-users] Angle

[Ezequias Rodrigues da Rocha]

Now it is working perfect. Thank you Eduardo. Point finish. The X axis 
here is not the same azimuth North axis and we only must to make some 
changes to see the angle.

Thank you so much one more time.

ps: The image is perfect. You  must post it on the wikipedia too.

Regards
Ezequias
