[mapguide-users] Calculate the area of a polygon

[Traian Stanev]

If you already have the points in an array, it's probably simplest to implement the sum of triangle areas given here:

This assumes your points are not in LatLong coordinates, which would require something more complex.

Subject: [mapguide-users] Calculate the area of a polygon

Hi,
Is it possible to use the Maestro API to calculate the area of a polygon?
I have an array of x/y points and I would like to get the area of that polygon.
