hvis omløbstalet er positive inde i polygonen.
Explanation:
Arealet kan ikke bestemmes korrekt, hvis omløbstalet er positive inde i polygonen.

The winding number is the number of rotations a reference point would make while tracking the path of a closed geometric shape. For counterclockwise rotations, the winding number is positive by definition.
The winding number translates into omløbstalet.
