ShapeArea

Computes the area of a shape.

Syntax

void avl::ShapeArea
(
	const avl::Path& inShape,
	atl::real& outArea
)

void ShapeArea
(
	AvlNet.Path inShape,
	out float outArea
)

Parameters

	Name	Type	Default	Description
	inShape	const Path&
	outArea	real&

Description

The operation computes the area of a shape bounded by a closed path. The area is measured in square pixels. As paths in AVS are subpixel-precise, the result may be (and usually is) non-integer.

Note that if the input path is not a valid shape (i.e. it has at least one self-intersection), the computation may lead to results that are not intuitive.

Examples

Area of the sample shape equals to 40652.37.

Area of the sample shape equals to 1287.675.
