that's correct, which is why it wouldnt work on a dumbell shaped sketch for example.

Hi Chris,

I think what you have described would only work if the sketch described a region that was strictly convex, which is a rather large restriction...

    hello all,

    I've begun working on an analysis function for the sketch
    primitive. To
    compute its area, Sean suggested creating a tesselation. Could someone
    describe the method for doing this? My first take at it would be to
    choose one vertice and draw a line from each other vertice to it to
    create a "fan" of triangles, but this wouldnt account for the circular
    arcs or bezier segments that can be part of a sketch. hopefully
    someone
    can point me in the right direction :)

    thanks,
    chris
