DESCRIPTIONm.measure provides the user with a way to measure the lengths and areas of lines and polygons. Areas can be stated in acres, hectares, square miles, square feet, square meters and square kilometers.EXAMPLESDistance example in a latitude-longitude location (on great circle, i.e. an orthodrome):Bonn_DE="7.09549,50.73438" Philadelphia_US="-75.16379,39.95233" m.measure coordinates="$Bonn_DE,$Philadelphia_US" units=kilometers Length: 6217.916452 kilometers Visualization (with d.geodesic) of m.measure distance example As an example for the North Carolina sample dataset, here four
points describing a square of 1000m side length:
