What shape are your polygons? I remember getting bad results for
triangles once.

Subject: [Gvsig_english] gvSIG 1.9::strange result when calculating area


Hi list, 
I just used the area()-Function to calculate the area of a polygon them and was 
surprised, as 
all values were negative. The absolute value was correct, "only" the minus is 
very strange. 
The layers I tested were from our official database. I am confused by this, as 
determinating the area using the 
measure tool results in the correct value (without "-"). Moreover, if I use the 
"split"-tool and recalculate the area, 
the area of the splitted geometries is positive (the rest remains negative). 
Very strange. 

Any ideas are appreciated very much. 
Best, 
Wolfgang
