Curve orientation
In mathematics, an orientation of a curve is the choice of one of the two possible directions for travelling on the curve. For example, for Cartesian coordinates, the x-axis is traditionally oriented toward the right, and the y-axis is upward oriented.
Curve orientation - Wikipedia Jump to content From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Property of a planar simple closed curve In mathematics , an orientation of a curve (including polygonal curves ) is the choice of one of the two possible senses for travelling on the curve, as in forward and backward. For example, for Cartesian coordinates on the Euclidean plane , the x -axis is traditionally oriented toward the right, and the y -axis is upward oriented. At each point along the curve, there are two tangent directions possible, colinear and opposite to each other. In the case of a plane simple
