template<typename FaceRange , typename TriangleMesh , typename NamedParameters >
FT CGAL::Polygon_mesh_processing::area ( FaceRange  face_range,
const TriangleMesh &  tmesh,
const NamedParameters &  np 
)

computes the area of a range of faces of a given triangulated surface mesh.

Template Parameters
FaceRangerange of boost::graph_traits<PolygonMesh>::face_descriptor, model of Range. Its iterator type is InputIterator.
TriangleMesha model of HalfedgeGraph
NamedParametersa sequence of Named Parameters
Parameters
face_rangethe range of faces of which the area is computed
tmeshthe triangulated surface mesh to which the faces of face_range belong
npoptional sequence of Named Parameters among the ones listed below
Named Parameters
vertex_point_mapthe property map with the points associated to the vertices of pmesh. If this parameter is omitted, an internal property map for CGAL::vertex_point_t should be available in TriangleMesh
geom_traitsan instance of a geometric traits class, model of Kernel
Returns
sum of face areas of faces. The return type FT is a number type. It is either deduced from the geom_traits Named Parameters if provided, or the geometric traits class deduced from the point property map of tmesh.
Warning
This function involves a square root computation. If Kernel::FT does not have a sqrt() operation, the square root computation will be done approximately.
