The problem

In QGIS, it's easy to calculate areas of polygons or lengths of lines using QGIS expressions with area ($geometry) / $area or length($geoemtry) / $length respectively. However, there is no expression to measure angles based on the three points that define it.

The question

Given a polygon of any shape in QGIS, how can interior angle be measured apart from the manual measuring tool (toolbar icon)?

What I tried

What sounds quite easy at the first glance is more complicated. QGIS expressions offer a few angle-functions as:

• line_interpolate_angle
• angle_at_vertex
• main_angle
• azimuth

However, there is no get_angle_at_vertex(geometry,index) function so that you could calculate the angle of any polygon- or line-geometry at a certain vertex and neither an angle (point1,point2, point3) function.

Given the points 1, 2 and 3: how to get the angle at point 2, formed by the line connecting these three points and on the left side in drawing-order?
