Description
The function starts by finding the centroid of the points and then orders
them from their angle to the center, whereafter it computes the area using
the triangle method.
Usage
1
polygon_area(x, y)
Arguments
x
X coordinates for the vertices of the polygon
y
Y coordinates for the vertices of the polygon
Details
polygon_area is vectorized and hence faster than implementations
relying on for loops.
Value
Area of the polygon
