function  a = polygon_area(x,y)
% AREA  Area of a planar polygon.
%	AREA(X,Y) Calculates the area of a 2-dimensional
%	polygon formed by vertices with coordinate vectors
%	X and Y. The result is direction-sensitive: the
%	area is positive if the bounding contour is counter-
%	clockwise and negative if it is clockwise.
