Description

I'm having inconsistent rendering when using segments_to_lines function. The idea is to produce shaded contour lines. The procedure is as follows:

  1. 1) explode lines "on-the-fly" using 
    segments_to_lines( $geometry)
  2. 2) calculate azimuth for each line 
        azimuth(
        end_point(geometry_n($geometry,@geometry_part_num)),
        start_point(geometry_n($geometry,@geometry_part_num)))

This is what happens when the result is translated to line colours:

These two screen-shots were made while panning and zooming in/out. The contour lines were made with GDAL, which is expressly tuned to respect line orientation (" Starting from version 1.7 the contour line-strings will be oriented consistently "). It seems that the routine does not respect line orientation. Or, perhaps, the azimuth value is out of range (?)

The full code of my function:

The problem was in colour ranges that I assigned to the result (in the scale_linear function).
All works fine, sorry about this !
