CIGAL Reference Manual, Chapter 3 (Functions): area

Area -- Calculate the area within a polygon

usage: result = area(vlist,[scalefactor])

AREA calculates the area within a region defined by a list of graphics vectors, VLIST. If VLIST does not define a closed region, the returned value is 0. Specifying SCALEFACTOR converts both output values from pixel units to other units.
