contour.orientation
Description
Read-only property: an integer indicating the orientation of the contour. The value of the integer
is -1 if the orientation is counterclockwise, 1 if it is clockwise, and 0 if it is a contour with no area.
Example
The following example traverses all the contours of the selected shape and shows the value of the
orientation property of each contour in the Output panel:
var elt = fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0];
elt.beginEdit();
var contourArray = elt.contours;
var contourCount = 0;
for (i=0; i<contourArray.length; i++) {
var contour = contourArray[i];
fl.trace("Next Contour, orientation:" + contour.orientation);
contourCount++;
}
elt.endEdit();
