I am looking for a method to calculate the area of a 
contour out of the polygon-data that describes the 
contour.

e.g. I have 100 points that describe a contour (x,y-
coordinates) and I'd like to calculate the area of it.

Does anyone know an algorithm that can do such a thing?


Thanks in advance,
