R-listers,
Given a polygon and a circle defined by its center coordinates and a
radius, I would like to calculate the area of overlap. I know that I
can create a polygon from the circle and then use available packages to
get the area of the intersection. However, because the polygon is of a
fixed size and I will be doing this for circles of varying sizes, I'm
concerned about maintaining the appropriate amount of resolution with
larger circles. If there was already a package that did the above
calculation without the creation of a circle polygon and would thus give
an exact area, that would be preferred. I have searched the archives
and have not found a solution to this particular problem. Thanks!
Cheers,
eric
