display polygons with longitude difference greater than 180

[KovynevA]

Hello!
Sorry if this has already been discussed or documented.

The rectangle with corner coordinates [-90; -20] to [90; 160] is drawn correctly from left to right.

The rectangle [-90; -20] to [90; 161] is drawn from right to left.

If the difference in longitudes is greater than 180, the figure changes the direction of drawing.
How can I avoid this effect?

Hi, if you're looking to create a polygon over the entire world from which other holes can be cut, then please follow #2034.

Thank you.
It turns out that if I want to draw a line along the longitude from -20 to 161
PolylineLayer(polylines: [
Polyline(points: [
LatLng(20, -20),
LatLng(20, 161),
]),
]),
, then it chooses the shortest path and will be drawn in the other direction. And there is no setting to set the direction or somehow regulate this, you need your own crutch :)

Will probably be fixed in #2069.

Hello! Should we wait for an update on this issue?

Hi @KovynevA, you can either depend directly on the commit, on the master branch, or wait for the next release. We're not too sure when that'll be, but hopefully soon!

Any ideas on how to draw a polygon or polyline correctly? So far I can only see splitting it into 2 polygons, but I don't need extra lines between them.
A flag is needed to select the behavior of drawing polygons and polylines.

Thank you, my problem is solved with 8.2.1
