+ <p class="Body">Orientation is only important to <em>closed</em> paths. Given that vertices are declared in a specific order, orientation refers to the direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise) that these vertices progress around a closed path.<br><br> Orientation is also dependent on axis direction:<br>
+ <ul>
+
+ <li>On <b>Y-axis positive <em>upward</em> displays</b>, Orientation will return true if the polygon's orientation is counter-clockwise.</li>
+
+ <li>On <b>Y-axis positive <em>downward</em> displays</b>, Orientation will return true if the polygon's orientation is clockwise.</li>
+
+ </ul> </p>

+ <p class="Body"> <img src="../../../../Images/orientation.png" alt="" border="0" align="left"><br style="clear:both"><br> <b>Notes:</b><br>
+ <ul>
+
+ <li>Self-intersecting polygons have indeterminate orientations in which case this function won't return a meaningful value.</li>
+
+ <li>The majority of 2D graphic display libraries (eg GDI, GDI+, XLib, Cairo, AGG, Graphics32) and even the SVG file format have their coordinate origins at the top-left corner of their respective viewports <em>with their Y axes increasing downward</em>. However, some display libraries (eg Quartz, OpenGL) have their coordinate origins undefined or in the classic bottom-left position with their Y axes increasing upward.</li>
+
+ <li>For Non-Zero filled polygons, the orientation of <a href="../../../Overview/_Body.htm#terminology">holes</a> <em>must be opposite</em> that of <a href="../../../Overview/_Body.htm#terminology">outer</a> polygons.</li>
+
+ <li>For closed paths (polygons) in the <em>solution</em> returned by Clipper's Execute method, their orientations will always be <em>true</em> for outer polygons and <em>false</em> for hole polygons (unless the <a href="../Classes/Clipper/Properties/ReverseSolution.htm"><b>ReverseSolution</b></a> property has been enabled).</li>
