Description
Region orientation can be thought of as the direction in which the region is oriented. Mathematically it is the angle between X-axis and the line passing through the region mass center, that rotation around this line produces the smallest torque.
Hints
- If the input region is not guaranteed to be non-empty, precede this filter with SkipEmptyRegion.
