#1 four point polygons (regions)

[David L. Dennis]

The ability to specify all 4 corners of a rectangle (instead
of the current limitation of 2) would be greatly beneficial
for displaying (in particular) "footprints" of imagery data.

I envision the following change(s) to the software:

1) The addition of a "rect4" argument to the "-o"
parameter.
2) The addition of a "coords4" option with "ll_x=, ll_y=,
ul_x=, ul_y=, ur_x=, ur_y=, lr_x=, lr_y=" arguments,
representing the lower left, upper left, upper right, and
lower right coordinates, respectively.
3) The software would then generate a region bound by
the specified coordinates.

I want to be sure I understand -- is this to support 4-point
polygons (e.g., trapezoids, rotated rectangles, etc.)? Can you
give me an example? Thanks!

Dbms2sde now supports arbitrary 4-sided polygons. The
usage is:

dbms2sde -o quad -coords "ll_x=..."

The -o rect option has been replaced with the -o quad option
(use -coords "minx=...")
