Calculate the area covered by the given slendr object
Value
Area covered by the input object. If a slendr_pop
was given, a table with an population range area in each time
point will be returned. If a slendr_region or
slendr_world object was specified, the total area covered
by this object's spatial boundary will be returned.
Examples
region_a <- region("A", center = c(20, 50), radius = 20)
region_b <- region("B", polygon = list(c(50, 40), c(70, 40), c(70, 60), c(50, 60)))
plot_map(region_a, region_b)
# note that area won't be *exactly* equal to pi*r^2:

area(region_a)
#> [1] 1256.063
area(region_b)
#> [1] 400
