Hey list,
somebody has a good idea about how efficiently computing an approximate 
oriented bbox for a polygon ?

The simplest approaches I can think of are
  - iteratively rotate the geom by few degrees, take the envelop. Keep ration 
where envelope is min
  - using Principal Components Analysis  : extract points regularly spaced on 
border of object,  compute PCA .

Thanks,
Cheers,
