ITGIS_Shape.Area method

DK for ActiveX | TatukGIS_XDK11.ITGIS_Shape.Area | Methods | Properties

Calculates the planar area enclosed by the shape.

Available also on: Delphi | .NET | Java | Python.

Syntax

// C#
public double Area();
' VisualBasic
Public Function Area() As Double
// Oxygene
public
  function Area : Double;

Result

Type Description
double
Double
Area in square map units. Returns zero for non-polygon shapes.

Remarks

PURPOSE: Calculate planar area for polygon geometry in vector analysis, thematic filtering, and spatial statistics.

BEHAVIOR: For polygon shapes, computes the area enclosed by the exterior ring and applies interior ring subtraction for holes. For point and line shapes, returns zero.

CONSTRAINTS: This is a planar calculation in layer map units and does not account for geodetic distortion. Use AreaCS for geodetic area in square meters.
