```{container} algorithm-id
**Algorithm ID**: `hedgetools:orientation`
```

This tool takes a line vector layer representing the hedge median axis and computes its orientation.

The orientation is expressed as an azimuth in degrees and is symmetrical, ranging from 0° to 180°.

## Parameters

| Label | Name | Type | Description |
|-------|------|------|-------------|
| Input arc layer | `INPUT` | [vector: line] | Line vector layer representing the hedge median axis. |
| Output orientation layer | `OUTPUT` | [vector: line] <br> Default: `[Create temporary layer]` | Output line vector layer. |

## Outputs

| Label | Name | Type | Description |
|-------|------|------|-------------|
| Output orientation layer | `OUTPUT` | [vector: line] | Line vector layer with an `orientation` field. |
