Baljit Singh updated MATH-1507:
-------------------------------
Description:
Let's say there is a circle on a spherical surface.
* The circle center is given by S2Point(theta=-0.6981, phi=0.87266). The
radius is irrelevant.
* Let's discretize this circle into a polygon with 100 edges. Let's make the
orientation {color:#ff0000}clockwise{color}.
* Since its a clockwise circle, from symmetry, we know that the barycenter
would be around S2Point(theta=2.44346, phi=2.268928), which is just the reverse
of the normal vector at the circle center.
* Using SphericalPolygonsSet, the calculated barycenter is
S2Point(theta=2.4922, phi=0.69889).
A few things I've already tested:
* For counterclockwise, the result is correct.
* The perimeter and surface area of the polygon is correct for both
counterclockwise and clockwise.
* The SphericalPolygonsSet is a function of the circle radius. From symmetry,
we know that there should be no dependence on the circle radius.
* The theta is kind of close. However, the phi is off about pi/2.
