Description

Get the area under a curve.

Syntax

double area( Curve & crv, double dYoffset = 0 )

Parameters

crv: [input] Origin C Curve object
dYoffset: [input]Y offset subtracted from curve

Return

Returns the area under a curve.

Examples

EX1

// This is a self contained sample program for the function area, 
// Its sample data is created at the beginning of the program. 
// To run the program, enter the following command in the Script window:
//   area_ex1
// This will return the result like following:
//   Area under the Plot Y:Data12_B over X:Data12_A (Offset=0.5) = 1.000000
void area_ex1()
