How to spatially sort line features???

YichiLiu1 — Wed, 08 Jan 2014 18:52:42 GMT

Hi all,

I wrote a script to calculate angle bisectors of adjacent lines. I pasted my code here. This code worked fine if the line segments are in right order. However, if the features are not in a spatially right order, for example, the first feature (FID = 0, highlighted in the image) at the middle of the whole line, the result won???t be correct. My question is, how can sort these line segments? Or is there a better way to calculate angle bisector?

Thank you very much!

def CalculateAngle(x, y):
    Len = math.hypot (x, y)
    acos = x/Len
    angle = math.acos(acos)
    degree = math.degrees (angle)

    if y > 0:
        r = math.radians (degree)
        return r

    if y < 0:
        newdegree = 360.00 - degree
        r = math.radians (newdegree)
        return r

    if y == 0:
        if x >= 0:
            r = math.radians (0.00)
            return r
        if x < 0:
            r = math.radians (180.00)
            return r
