CAD_PAREA(1) BRL-CAD CAD_PAREA(1)

cad_parea - compute area of polygon

cad_parea [-i input] [-o output]

cad_parea reads from input (standard input if not given) a series of polygon vertex (x,y) coordinate values and writes to output (standard output if not given) the polygon's area. Lines not beginning with a number are silently skipped. Vertices are assumed to be given in counter-clockwise cyclic order.

A hole can be accommodated as a clockwise section connected to the periphery by a line segment traced in both directions.

Disjoint pieces may be connected by a line segment traced in both directions.

$ cad_parea # comment 1 0 2 0 2 1 3 1 3 2 2 2 1 2 0 2 0 1 1 1

^D 4

cad_boundp(1)

Improperly formatted input produces an error message and terminates cad_parea with non-zero exit status.

cad_parea outputs "0" for the area of a degenerate polygon.
