V_POLYGONAREA Calculate the area of a polygon
Inputs:
P(n,2) is the polygon vertices
Outputs:
A is teh area of teh polygon
The area is positive if the vertices go anti-clockwise around the polygon.0001 function a=v_polygonarea(p) 0002 %V_POLYGONAREA Calculate the area of a polygon 0003 % 0004 % Inputs: 0005 % P(n,2) is the polygon vertices 0006 % 0007 % Outputs: 0008 % A is teh area of teh polygon 0009 % 0010 % The area is positive if the vertices go anti-clockwise around the polygon. 0011 % 0012 0013 % Copyright (C) Mike Brookes 2009 0014 % Version: $Id: v_polygonarea.m 10865 2018-09-21 17:22:45Z dmb $ 0015 % 0016 % VOICEBOX is a MATLAB toolbox for speech processing. 0017 % Home page: http://www.ee.ic.ac.uk/hp/staff/dmb/voicebox/voicebox.html 0018 % 0019 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 0020 % This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify 0021 % it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by 0022 % the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or 0023 % (at your option) any later version. 0024 % 0025 % This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, 0026 % but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of 0027 % MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
