    <p>I wrote a function named <code>analyze_the_shape</code> that takes a list of 2D vertices such that the list is in the order of a clockwise traversal of the vertices in the 2D Euclidean space.</p> <p>I call it in the interpreter and give <code>[(0, 0), (0, 4.0), (4.0, 4.0), (4.0, 0)]</code> as input but I get <code>ValueError : math domain error</code>. I expect to see <code>return ["SQUARE", 4.0]</code>. What can I do ? </p> <pre><code>import math def analyze_the_shape(liste): if len(liste) == 2 : d = ( (liste[1][0] - liste[0][0])**2 + (liste[1][1] - liste[0][1])**2 )**(0.5) return ["LINESEGMENT", d ] if len(liste) == 4 : d1 = abs(( (liste[1][0] - liste[0][0])**2 + (liste[1][1] - liste[0][1])**2 )**(0.5)) d2 = abs(( (liste[2][0] - liste[1][0])**2 + (liste[2][1] - liste[1][1])**2 )**(0.5)) d3 = abs(( (liste[3][0] - liste[2][0])**2 + (liste[3][1] - liste[2][1])**2 )**(0.5)) d4 = abs(( (liste[0][0] - liste[3][0])**2 + (liste[0][1] - liste[3][1])**2 )**(0.5)) hypo = abs(( (liste[2][1] - liste[0][1])**2 + (liste[2][0] - liste[0][0])**2 )**(0.5)) cos_angle = float((hypo**2 - (d3)**2 + (d4)**2) / ((-2.0)*(d4)*(d3))) angle = math.degrees(math.acos(cos_angle)) if d1 == d2 == d3 == d4 and abs(angle - 90.0) &lt; 0.001 : return ["SQUARE", d1] </code></pre> <p>This is the error I get:</p> <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; import a &gt;&gt;&gt; a.analyze_the_shape([(0, 0), (0, 4.0), (4.0, 4.0), (4.0, 0)]) Traceback (most recent call last): File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt; File "a.py", line 15, in analyze_the_shape ValueError: math domain error </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
