Body
Once you determine the user finished drawing their shape where they started, you can take a sample of the coordinates that they drew through and try fitting them to a circle. There is a MATLAB solution to this problem here: <a href="http://www.mathworks.com.au/matlabcentral/fileexchange/15060-fitcircle-m" rel="nofollow">http://www.mathworks.com.au/matlabcentral/fileexchange/15060-fitcircle-m</a> Which is based on the paper Least-Squares Fitting of Circles and Ellipses by Walter Gander, Gene H. Golub and Rolf Strebel: <a href="http://www.emis.de/journals/BBMS/Bulletin/sup962/gander.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.emis.de/journals/BBMS/Bulletin/sup962/gander.pdf</a> Dr Ian Coope from the University of Canterbury, NZ published a paper with the abstract: <blockquote> The problem of determining the circle of best fit to a set of points in the plane (or the obvious generalization to n-dimensions) is easily formulated as a nonlinear total least-squares problem which may be solved using a Gauss-Newton minimization algorithm. This straight-forward approach is shown to be inefficient and extremely sensitive to the presence of outliers. An alternative formulation allows the problem to be reduced to a linear least squares problem which is trivially solved. The recommended approach is shown to have the added advantage of being much less sensitive to outliers than the nonlinear least squares approach. </blockquote> <a href="http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2FBF00939613" rel="nofollow">http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2FBF00939613</a> The MATLAB file can compute both the nonlinear TLS and linear LLS problem.

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.
