Hi, I'm stuck (again).. I want to be able to find the optimum and minimum dimensions of a polygon as it is traversed in a particular direction. (so i cant just use MBR dimensions). this is a tricky one to explain in words but for any given polygon and a particular direction-of-travel bearing(0 to 359) i want to find the longest and shortest routes across the polygon on that given bearing....(ie start point and end point dont matter [as long as they are on the edge of the polygon!], and i only traverse along the bearing.)
Has anyone got a code snippet, methodology, or link to a web site where i could get an algorithm to calculate this? ********************************************************************* This e-mail message, and any files transmitted with it, are confidential and intended solely for the use of the addressee.
