I have been looking for how to determine coordinates of the points which consist a polygon(feature) in OpenLayers.

Let's say I have created a polygon like the one in this example. I need to know the points which consist the polygon, so I can save them somewhere.

I bet it is an easy one. I just couldn't find anything, probably I don't know what I should search for.

Thanks in advance.

How to determine if a list of polygon points are in clockwise order?

Having a list of points, how do I find if they are in clockwise order? For example: point[0] = (5,0) point[1] = (6,4) point[2] = (4,5) point[3] = (1,5) point[4] = (1,0) would say that it is anti-clockwise (or counter-clockwise, for some people).
