I have an array with 5 CGPoints (v0, v1, v2, v3, v4) which are the vertex of the shape implemented like this:
_arrayVertex = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:[NSValue valueWithCGPoint:v0], [NSValue valueWithCGPoint:v1], [NSValue valueWithCGPoint:v2], [NSValue valueWithCGPoint:v3], [NSValue valueWithCGPoint:v4], nil];
Then, I calculate the area with those points:
- (float)calculateArea {
float area = 0;
int N = (int)_arrayVertex.count;
for (int i = 0; i < N-1; i++) {
float term = ([_arrayVertex[i] CGPointValue].x * [_arrayVertex[i+1 % N] CGPointValue].y -
[_arrayVertex[i+1 % N] CGPointValue].x * [_arrayVertex[i] CGPointValue].y)/2.0;
area += term;
}
return fabsf(area);
}
Is the area correctly calculated? Am I missing something?. Thank you in advance.
