Actual Area Claculation

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().

Thanks Jonathan,
Go ahead let us know if you have any more question.

Thanks
