.SH "NAME"
area \- Calculates an approximate presented area of one region in the \fImged\fR display\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

\fBarea\fR [\fItolerance\fR]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Calculates an approximate presented area of one region in the
mged display\&. For this command to work properly, a single BRL\-CAD region must be displayed using the
\fBE\fR
command\&. The
\fItolerance\fR
is the distance required between two vertices in order for them to be recognized as distinct vertices\&. This calculation considers only the minimum bounding polygon of the region and ignores holes\&.
