Can't put a few segments on one side and jump to others on a different side. A ---B---C | | D--------E needs to be AB,BC,CE,ED close not AB,CE,BC,DE close or other combo the code will swap AB, with BA on a vertex pair basis only but (will not yet) sort a non-contiguous set of segments. Best to make one continuous [counter or]clock wise construction.
Oh, what is the difference between a segment or polygon bound zone?
