Property Class Identifier

Sub Trajectory: classifying

Uses class membership for shapes (e.g., to sort or consider shapes “similar”) explicitly based on properties, including angle measure. Is aware of restrictions of transformations and also of the definitions and can integrate the two. Sorts hierarchically, based on properties.
