Hi, there
With a lot of help in this forum, I strated to use Python to accomplish something. Here I am looking for guide about how to improve my code speed.
This code is to determine the normal direction of a polygon with four points.
Every four points have 6 different orders and so i calculate them to find one with maximum value, which is the order I need. It works and however runs slowly when I use it to handle a lot of data.
path_value=[28817,29283,30676,29284,30677]
def order_nodes(path_value):
# print path_value
f9 = open('inf.txt', 'r')
alllines9 = f9.readlines()
f9.close()
x=[0,0,0,0,0,0] # save all coordinate values of these nodes into a
y=[0,0,0,0,0,0]
i=1
# get all coordinate values of these nodes
while i < len(path_value):
for line100 in alllines9:
line100=line100.strip()
line1000=line100.split(',')
# print line1000[0]
if float(path_value[i]) == float(line1000[0]):
x[i-1]=line1000[1]
y[i-1]=line1000[2]
i=i+1
# print "i=", i
# fetch all coordinate values of these nodes
x[-1]=x[0]
y[-1]=y[0]
# determine these order
total_area=[0,0,0,0,0,0]
total_order=[0,0,0,0,0,0]
