Knightwood Area from Coordinates Calculator Description
In the eventuality that you studied mathematics in high school, then you are likely to know that calculating the area of a polygon can be as simple as finding the area of a regular triangle. Then again, using a regular triangle to make the calculations usually happens in theory, as land surveyors, archeologists and engineers often need to deal with irregular shapes.
Knightwood Area from Coordinates Calculator is an application designed to help the latter category of professionals calculate the area or perimeter of a polygon in a matter of seconds.
Simple and straightforward functionality
The advantage of the application stems from the fact that you only need to know the details of a set of coordinates, namely the easting and northing or the distance and bearing. As you probably hinted by now, the app comes with four input modes that allow you to add, edit, delete or insert the desired points. On a side note, it is recommended that you avoid adding the points randomly as to avert creating a boundary that crosses itself.
Regardless of the coordinates you have the data from, you will be happy to learn that the program automatically calculates and fills in the other set. It is important to note that while the app is relatively flexible regarding how you add the points, the first one must be introduced as a coordinate.
Includes a plot panel where you can make further analysis
It is worth mentioning that the program comes with a plot panel that updates as you keep adding points to the boundary. While it is true that you can view the location of each point as it is displayed using its corresponding number, it would have been useful if you could preview the panel in another window.
On the other hand, you should know that you can zoom in and out to analyze if the polygon you are creating is similar to the uneven shape you are working with.
An efficient tool for calculating a polygon’s area
Whether you are studying mathematics in college or you work in a profession that entails dealing with uneven shapes, then perhaps Knightwood Area from Coordinates Calculator might come in handy.
