有了一个点列表,我如何确定它们是否是顺时针顺序的?

例如:

point[0] = (5,0)
point[1] = (6,4)
point[2] = (4,5)
point[3] = (1,5)
point[4] = (1,0)

会说它是逆时针的(对某些人来说是逆时针的)


当前回答

求出这些点的质心。

假设有直线从这个点到你们的点。

求line0 line1的两条直线夹角

而不是直线1和直线2

...

...

如果这个角是单调递增的,而不是逆时针递增的,

如果是单调递减,则是顺时针递减

Else(它不是单调的)

你不能决定,所以这是不明智的

Javascript实现的lhf的答案 (再次强调,这只适用于简单的多边形,即不适用于图8)

let polygon = [ {x:5,y:0}, {x:6,y:4}, {x:4,y:5}, {x:1,y:5}, {x:1,y:0} ] document.body.innerHTML += `Polygon ${polygon.map(p=>`(${p.x}, ${p.y})`).join(", ")} is clockwise? ${isPolygonClockwise(polygon)}` let reversePolygon = [] polygon.forEach(point=>reversePolygon.unshift(point)) document.body.innerHTML += `<br/>Polygon ${reversePolygon.map(p=>`(${p.x}, ${p.y})`).join(", ")} is clockwise? ${isPolygonClockwise(reversePolygon)}` function isPolygonClockwise (polygon) { // From http://www.faqs.org/faqs/graphics/algorithms-faq/ "How do I find the orientation of a simple polygon?" // THIS SOMETIMES FAILS if the polygon is a figure 8, or similar shape where it crosses over itself // Take the lowest point (break ties with the right-most). if (polygon.length < 3) { return true // A single point or two points can't be clockwise/counterclockwise } let previousPoint = polygon[0] let lowestPoint = polygon[1] let nextPoint = polygon[2] polygon.forEach((point, index)=>{ if (point.y > lowestPoint.y || (point.y === lowestPoint.y && point.x > lowestPoint.x)) { // larger y values are lower, in svgs // Break ties with furthest right previousPoint = polygon[(index-1) >= (0) ?

(index+1) : (0)] } }) // Check the angle between the previous point, that point, and the next point. // If the angle is less than PI radians, the polygon is clockwise let angle = findAngle(previousPoint, lowestPoint, nextPoint) return angle < Math.PI } function findAngle(A,B,C) { var AB = Math.atan2(B.y-A.y, B.x-A.x); var BC = Math.atan2(C.y-B.y, C.x-B.x); if (AB < 0) AB += Math.PI*2 if (BC < 0) BC += Math.PI*2 return BC-AB; }

对于那些不想“重新发明轮子”的人,我认为值得一提的是,这个检查是在一个名为Shapely (github)的漂亮的Python包中实现的(它基于GEOS C/ c++库):

Shapely is a BSD-licensed Python package for manipulation and analysis of planar geometric objects. It is using the widely deployed open-source geometry library GEOS (the engine of PostGIS, and a port of JTS). Shapely wraps GEOS geometries and operations to provide both a feature rich Geometry interface for singular (scalar) geometries and higher-performance NumPy ufuncs for operations using arrays of geometries. Shapely is not primarily focused on data serialization formats or coordinate systems, but can be readily integrated with packages that are.

一个给出OP坐标的小例子:

import numpy as np
from shapely.geometry import Polygon

points = np.array([
    (5,0),
    (6,4),
    (4,5),
    (1,5),
    (1,0)
])

P = Polygon(points)

这是新构造的多边形:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x,y = P.exterior.coords.xy
plt.plot(x,y)
plt.axis('equal')
plt.grid()
plt.show()

你可以直接使用LinearRing的is_ccw属性来检查多边形是CW还是CCW:

type(P.exterior)
>: shapely.geometry.polygon.LinearRing

P.exterior.is_ccw
>: True

如果颠倒:

points = np.flipud(points)
points
>: 
array([[1, 0],
       [1, 5],
       [4, 5],
       [6, 4],
       [5, 0]])


P1 = Polygon(points)

P1.exterior.is_ccw
>: True

下面是一个基于@Beta答案的算法的简单c#实现。

让我们假设我们有一个Vector类型,它的X和Y属性为double类型。

public bool IsClockwise(IList<Vector> vertices)
{
    double sum = 0.0;
    for (int i = 0; i < vertices.Count; i++) {
        Vector v1 = vertices[i];
        Vector v2 = vertices[(i + 1) % vertices.Count];
        sum += (v2.X - v1.X) * (v2.Y + v1.Y);
    }
    return sum > 0.0;
}

%是执行模运算的模运算符或余数运算符,该运算符(根据维基百科)在一个数除以另一个数后求余数。


根据@MichelRouzic评论的优化版本:

double sum = 0.0;
Vector v1 = vertices[vertices.Count - 1]; // or vertices[^1] with
                                          // C# 8.0+ and .NET Core
for (int i = 0; i < vertices.Count; i++) {
    Vector v2 = vertices[i];
    sum += (v2.X - v1.X) * (v2.Y + v1.Y);
    v1 = v2;
}
return sum > 0.0;

这不仅节省了模运算%,还节省了数组索引。


测试(参见与@WDUK的讨论)

public static bool IsClockwise(IList<(double X, double Y)> vertices)
{
    double sum = 0.0;
    var v1 = vertices[^1];
    for (int i = 0; i < vertices.Count; i++) {
        var v2 = vertices[i];
        sum += (v2.X - v1.X) * (v2.Y + v1.Y);
        Console.WriteLine($"(({v2.X,2}) - ({v1.X,2})) * (({v2.Y,2}) + ({v1.Y,2})) = {(v2.X - v1.X) * (v2.Y + v1.Y)}");
        v1 = v2;
    }
    Console.WriteLine(sum);
    return sum > 0.0;
}

public static void Test()
{
    Console.WriteLine(IsClockwise(new[] { (-5.0, -5.0), (-5.0, 5.0), (5.0, 5.0), (5.0, -5.0) }));

    // infinity Symbol
    //Console.WriteLine(IsClockwise(new[] { (-5.0, -5.0), (-5.0, 5.0), (5.0, -5.0), (5.0, 5.0) }));
}

一个计算上更简单的方法,如果你已经知道多边形内的一个点:

从原始多边形中选择任意线段,按此顺序选择点及其坐标。 加上一个已知的“内部”点,形成一个三角形。 根据以上三点计算CW或CCW。

一些建议的方法在非凸多边形(如新月形)的情况下会失败。这里有一个简单的方法,它可以用于非凸多边形(它甚至可以用于自相交的多边形,如数字8,告诉你它是否主要是顺时针)。

对边求和,(x2−x1)(y2 + y1)如果结果是正的,曲线是顺时针的,如果结果是负的,曲线是逆时针的。(结果是封闭面积的两倍,采用+/-惯例。)
