| Area calculation
For calculating the surface area of a closed polygon there's a simple formula, that looks like: For i = 1 to n temp = temp + X[i] * (Y[i+1] - Y[i-1]) Next i Area = temp / 2 (if i=1, then Y[i-1] = Y[n]) (if i=n, then Y[i+1] = Y[1]) However, this works for plane X,Y coordinates, not the geographic latitude and longitud that you can extract from MapPoint. Therefore you'll have to convert to plane coordinates first. I didn't work it out yet, but perhaps an approximation is good enough (as you'll know 1 degree of longitud at the equator is about 111 km, but less at higher latitud). Greetings, Jack. |
