Hi,

The question is for the developers of QGIS.
In my python classes I use a lot the boundingBox function for QgsGeometry class.
I would like to know if it is possible to see the algorithm for this function.

I found this but it is not really the algorithm

 QgsRectangle<https://qgis.org/api/2.18/classQgsRectangle.html> 
QgsGeometry::boundingBox<https://qgis.org/api/2.18/classQgsGeometry.html#adfc04c94b51cdeb55942b699fdd4d564>()
 const
  859 {
  860  if ( 
d->geometry<https://qgis.org/api/2.18/structQgsGeometryPrivate.html#ac49a8dd9cb78a9d041d1a46ac6a7ef15>
 )
  861  {
  862  return 
d->geometry<https://qgis.org/api/2.18/structQgsGeometryPrivate.html#ac49a8dd9cb78a9d041d1a46ac6a7ef15>->boundingBox<https://qgis.org/api/2.18/classQgsAbstractGeometryV2.html#ac6806e752aeda4f347741a0c7eb37167>();
  863  }
  864  return QgsRectangle<https://qgis.org/api/2.18/classQgsRectangle.html>();
  865 }

Where
I create some polygons with QGIS which are exported to another system which use 
a bounding box formula that gives infinity.
The other system includes a check of the South Pole in the bounding box it also 
takes in consideration the orientation of the polygon coordinates.
It seems in one of the orientation the South Pole is inside the bounding box 
and if I switch the orientation the South Pole is not anymore inside.
QGIS seems to be immune of how the coordinates are oriented. Regardless of the 
order QGIS gives a finite bounding box without having a South Pole inside.

Can someone help me?
Thank you,
Marian
Anyone can help me?
