Golden Rule: Select 5-10 points per side within 4-10% of droplet diameter from the contact point.
✓ Good Selection:
- Points within 4-10% of diameter from contact
- 5-10 points evenly distributed
- Points follow smooth droplet profile
✗ Avoid:
- Too far (> 10%): the polynomial fitting can no longer accurately represent the actual droplet shape
