I was assigned a task to generate polygon features using SQL Spatial. SQL Spatial has many features to create geometric/geographic features. When I was working on this assignment , for some reason, some of the generated polygons were not appearing correctly. They were too big or it didn't look right.
For example, when I tried to generate all the US state polygons, some states showed up correctly but some was too big and not of the right size.
After doing some searching, I found out that the polygons are not drawn in the right orientation.
I checked the envelope angle of each polygon feature using the following command.
EnvelopeAngle
If the envelope angle is greater than 180 degrees then I re-oriented the polygon using the following command
ReorientObject
After this fix, then all the 'Polygons' showed up correctly.
Hope this tip helps.
Have fun coding.
