Calculate Angle | Top Previous Next

An angle is the difference between two directions. This function returns the value of the angle between two straight lines segments. The calculated angle depends on the sequence of the selected lines (counter-clockwise). Additionally, the calculated angles can be sketched in the map window. The sketch disappears with the dialog. Supported object types: Line, Polyline, Polygon/Region, Rectangle, Collection
