[postgis-users] Which operators/functions work with circular arcs?

[Paul Ramsey]

I was about to point out how clever I was, to work this out and then
forget I'd worked it out, but then I found this,

double
lwcurvepoly_area(const LWCURVEPOLY *curvepoly)
{
double area = 0.0;
LWPOLY *poly;
if( lwgeom_is_empty((LWGEOM*)curvepoly) )
return 0.0;
poly = lwcurvepoly_stroke(curvepoly, 32);
area = lwpoly_area(poly);
lwpoly_free(poly);
return area;
}
