Actual Area Claculation

#1

Hi,

We have a number of clients that are very keen to calculate actual areas for parcels of land. That is areas taking into account the slope. They would have height data for a set of points within the polygon.

Is there any support for this type of calculation in MapSuite?

Regards,
Jonathan

Thanks Jonathan,
We have two api
PolygonShape.GetArea(); This one consider the earth is flat.
PolygonShape.GetAccurateArea(); This one consider the earth is sphere.

We don’t have the api consider the slope.

Thanks

Frank

OK, thanks. Useful extra detail about the difference between GetArea() and GetAccurateArea().
