Stefan, Thank you for your response, and you are right with your assumptions.
I will have a look at the software suggested by you and test how it can do the job for me. Thanks! -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Stefan Zweig Verzonden: 18 January 2008 09:58 AM Aan: PostGIS Users Discussion Onderwerp: Re: [postgis-users] Rounding the angle of the polygon Hi Christian, i don't think that your task is a question that can be solved with typical GIS databases. At least postgis cannot. And I am quite sure that orcale & co. cannot either. Probably this would be a job to do with a adjustment package that allows to set angles as constraints. The Point is: to get one angle of the polygon correct you would have to move two other points which leads you into troubles with their enclosed angles. I think taking the bounding box of the buildings will not help you, because most buildings have more than four corners, haven't they? Furthermore the bounding box would align all your building outline in north-south direction. Have a look at adjustment /approximation software, just as http://www.xdesy.de/freeware/xdesy.html (german software, freeware) or similar products, regards, stefan > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: PostGIS Users Discussion <[email protected]> > Gesendet: 17.01.08 20:02:20 > An: PostGIS Users Discussion <[email protected]> > Betreff: Re: [postgis-users] Rounding the angle of the polygon > > Hi, > > if I got your point of question correctly, why not calculating with the > bounding box of relevant polygons? > > Regards, > Christian. > > Am Donnerstag, den 17.01.2008, 09:32 +0100 schrieb Witteveen, Eduard: > > Hello, > > > > I have a large collection of polygons, where each polygon represents the > > shape of a building.
