What gives the better result depends on what you want to align and how you expect the outcome. While I use the weighted average of directions as the orientation of the grid, you look for the edge closest to the average and take its orientation. And you use a different approach to orient the other segments. > > I did the align-in-recangle initially, and I have been asked by users > whether it would be possible to, instead of have the algorithm compute > the general direction, pre-select one edge somehow for all others to > follow.

Programming is for the rainy season ;-) As - if I understand correctly - it is not possible in JOSM to select just a segemt of a way, I only have two sponaneous ideas: -the collection must also contain two nodes that would establish the direction -the collection must also contain one way constisting of only two nodes, which would establish the direction This would also allow to draw a larger "helpline" just for orientation and then align the other objects to it. Then the helpline can be deleted. > > I'll look at the patch and apply it if I don't see a major problem. > > Bye > Frederik > > -- > Frederik Ramm ## eMail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" Almost neighbours.
