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