[Scilab-users] Surface calculation

[paul.carrico at free.fr]

Hi All

I'm wondering how I can calculate (with accuracy) the value of any 
closed surface composed of edges; these ones come from a mesh and the 
surface is no more than a hole.

In a first step I'm thinking in  Delaunay triangulation based on the 
edges to mesh the surface (triangles), but maybe there are simpliest 
ways (to avoid to reivent the wheel)? does somebody can advice?

Obviously the surface can be highly irregular, such as a daisy flower 
(to illustrate the shape).

Merry Christmas to all the community
