I would like to calculate the area of several polygons which are in Lat/Long Nad83 system and range in size from small islands to much larger areas. I recall others indicating they came across discrepancies with MapInfo's area calculation. I checked out the MI-L archives concerning area calculati

Hi Rob, Assuming (X1,Y1), (X2,Y2),(X3,Y3),.(Xn-2,Yn-2), (Xn-1,Yn-1),(Xn,Yn) are your coordinates in Cartesian domain, your area function would be as follow: 2x Area = X2Y1 + X3Y2 + X4Y3 + ...+YnYn-1 + X1Yn - X1Y2 - X2Y3 - ... -XnY1 Thus, Area = RHS / 2 unit square. Good luck. Regards

Can anyone point me in the direction of a formula or technique to calculate an area of irregular shapes (no holes), from a list of coordinates - without a GIS? The answer can be in square coordinate units. The formulae uncovered so far indicate a rather manual subdivision of the shape into t

Listers, I've got a couple of questions relating to buffers and the way MI calculates their area. 1. MI seems to approximate circular buffers with multi-sided polygons. Can it not just draw a circular buffer? 2. I've got a table of buffers whose native projection/datum is Lat/Long NAD83. I chan

Hello All, I'm having problems with calculating the total area of a number of pieces of land. I have set MI v.6.0 to calculate Distance/Area using 'Cartesian'. When I use Update column with 'CartesianArea(obj, "sq m)', then use 'Calculate Statistics', I get a total area of 3,730,049.05 m2. If
