Finding the area of a rectilinear layout block

Sri Charan B

Hi,

I am new to this forum and i have started my career as a layout designer recently.

Iam trying to develop a skill code which gives me the area of a block irrespective of the pdk or technology used. By using the "bBox" command i am able to get half of my work done. But the problem i am facing is if any space inside the block is left empty even that area is also counted. So i want to eliminate the unused space and get the area of space which is used. Can please someone help me with this and guide me to correct procedure if my approach is wrong. Thanks in advance for help

  • Hi Sri,

    Google the topic "Area of Polygon" or "shoelace formula", it will point you to the right direction.

    In theory, Any shape in a cartesian plane, given the coordinates of all vertices, The area can be calculated.
