Hi,everyone. I really need help from you that I don't know how to calculate the dimension of bounding box with a rotated angle. I have already find out the 4 endpoints of the bounding box.(x1,y1),(x2,y2), (x3,y3),(x4,y4).But how to continue to get the length and width of the bounding box? Wish someone can help me.Thanks in advance!

It will help if you can provide more information and exactly what you want. But you can convert your Cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates and then again to Cartesian. It will help you.

Existing code is always a better choice, if you can find it? For example, you can find minboundrect on the file exchange.
If you want to write some code yourself, you might find a few nice tricks in there anyway.

minboundrect always generates a rectangle, so right angles. However, I think I recall writing also a tool in there called minboundparallelogram.
