ShapeArea
Header: | FIL.h |
---|---|
Namespace: | fil |
Computes the area of a shape.
Syntax
C++
C#
void fil::ShapeArea ( const fil::Path& inShape, float& outArea )
Parameters
Name | Type | Default | Description | |
---|---|---|---|---|
![]() |
inShape | const Path& | ||
![]() |
outArea | float& |
Description
The operation computes the area of a shape bounded by a closed path. The area is measured in square pixels. As paths in FIS 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. |
Errors

Error type | Description |

DomainError | Open path on input in ShapeArea. |
