| | | | | (...) OK. My edges already were counterclockwise. :) Umm, for inside outlines (inlines?) to be clockwise, that's 'clockwise' from a global view, right? If so, then my inlines are already clockwise. But I don't know which ones are inlines, and which (...) (20 years ago, 23-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.ideas, FTX)

However, like you say, it's easy enough to find an extreme point and test the winding. Steve (20 years ago, 24-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.ideas, FTX)
