Area component
The area component is a component to the profile form for calculation of areas between profiles.
Two profiles must be selected to calculate the area. In this case the profile can be either a profile (*.trp) or a Terrain profile created from a roadline (*.trl) together with a terrain model (*.dtm). Each intersection between the profiles is presented in the form with a vertical line together with its section. The area between two intersections is written between the two intersections. If the first profile is positioned above the second, the area gets a positive value, otherwise a negative. The sums of all the positive and negative areas are presented to the left in the profile form.
