Area Calculation for the Gielis Curve Within [0, 2\pi)

Description

areaGE is used to calculate the area of the polygon generated by the Gielis curve within [0, 2\pi).

Usage

areaGE(expr, P, m = 1, simpver = NULL,  
       nval = 1, subdivisions = 100L,
       rel.tol = .Machine$double.eps^0.25, 
       abs.tol = rel.tol, stop.on.error = TRUE, 
       keep.xy = FALSE, aux = NULL)

Arguments

expr	the original (or twin) Gielis equation or one of its simplified versions.
P	the parameters of the original (or twin) Gielis equation or one of its simplified versions.
m	the given m value that determines the number of angles of the Gielis curve within [0, 2\pi).
simpver	an optional argument to use the simplified version of the original (or twin) Gielis equation.
nval	the specified value for n_{1} or n_{2} or n_{3} in the simplified versions.
subdivisions	please see the arguments for the integrate function in package stats.
rel.tol	please see the arguments for the integrate function in package stats.
abs.tol	please see the arguments for the integrate function in package stats.
stop.on.error	please see the arguments for the integrate function in package stats.
keep.xy	please see the arguments for the integrate function in package stats.
aux	please see the arguments for the integrate function in package stats.

Details

The arguments of P, m, simpver, and nval should correspond to expr (i.e., GE or TGE). Please note the differences in the simplified version number and the number of parameters between GE and TGE.

Value

The area of the polygon within [0, 2\pi) generated by the original (or twin) Gielis equation or one of its simplified versions.

Note

simpver in GE is different from that in TGE.
