area_polygon_xy

compas.geometry.area_polygon_xy(polygon)[source]

Compute the area of a polygon lying in the XY-plane.

Parameters: polygon (sequence[point] | compas.geometry.Polygon) – A sequence of XY(Z) coordinates of 2D or 3D points representing the locations of the corners of a polygon. The vertices are assumed to be in order. The polygon is assumed to be closed: the first and last vertex in the sequence should not be the same.
Returns: float – The area of the polygon.
