Method Detail

getOrientation

char getOrientation()

returns the orientation of a curve

Returns:

curve orientation ('+'|'-')

setOrientation

void setOrientation(char orientation)
                    throws GeometryException

sets the curves orientation

Parameters:

orientation - orientation of the curve ('+'|'-')

Throws:

GeometryException - will be thrown if orientation is invalid
