c#代码实现lhf的答案:

public static WindingOrder DetermineWindingOrder(IList<Vector2> vertices)
{
    int nVerts = vertices.Count;
    // If vertices duplicates first as last to represent closed polygon,
    // skip last.
    Vector2 lastV = vertices[nVerts - 1];
    if (lastV.Equals(vertices[0]))
        nVerts -= 1;
    int iMinVertex = FindCornerVertex(vertices);
    // Orientation matrix:

    // O = | 1  xb  yb |

    Vector2 a = vertices[WrapAt(iMinVertex - 1, nVerts)];

    double detOrient = (b.X * c.Y + a.X * b.Y + a.Y * c.X) - (a.Y * b.X + b.Y * c.X + a.X * c.Y);

    // TBD: check for "==0", in which case is not defined?

    WindingOrder result = detOrient > 0
            ? WindingOrder.Clockwise
            : WindingOrder.CounterClockwise;
    return result;
}

    Clockwise,
    CounterClockwise

// Find vertex along one edge of bounding box.
// In this case, we find smallest y; in case of tie also smallest x.

    return iMinVertex;

// Return value in (0..n-1).
// Works for i in (-n..+infinity).
// If need to allow more negative values, need more complex formula.

}

找出y最小的顶点(如果有平手，则x最大)。假设顶点是A，列表中的前一个顶点是B，列表中的下一个顶点是c。现在计算AB和AC的叉乘的符号。

如何确定一个简单多边形的方向?在 常见问题:计算机。图形。算法。 维基百科的曲线定位。

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

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。)

point[0] = (5,0)   edge[0]: (6-5)(4+0) =   4
point[1] = (6,4)   edge[1]: (4-6)(5+4) = -18
point[2] = (4,5)   edge[2]: (1-4)(5+5) = -30
point[3] = (1,5)   edge[3]: (1-1)(0+5) =   0
point[4] = (1,0)   edge[4]: (5-1)(0+0) =   0
                                         ---
                                         -44  counter-clockwise

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) : (polygon.length-1)] lowestPoint = polygon[index] nextPoint = polygon[(index+1) <= (polygon.length-1) ? (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; }

从其中一个顶点开始，计算每条边对应的角度。

第一个和最后一个将是零(所以跳过它们);对于其余部分，角度的正弦值将由归一化与(点[n]-点[0])和(点[n-1]-点[0])的单位长度的叉乘给出。

如果这些值的和是正的，那么你的多边形是逆时针方向绘制的。
