[postgis-users] Are there script examples for determine where vertices run clockwise or anti-clockwise?

[Marcin Mionskowski]

It doesn't make sense for lines.
Imagine LINESTRING(1 0,1 1) - which "part of a square" is this i.e. where
is "the center of the square": (1) 0.5,0.5 or (2) 1.5,0.5?
If (1) it's CCW, if (2) CW.
