\brief \brief_calc{area}
\ingroup area
\details \details_calc{area}. \details_default_strategy

The area algorithm calculates the surface area of all geometries having a surface, namely
box, polygon, ring, multipolygon. The units are the square of the units used for the points
defining the surface. If subject geometry is defined in meters, then area is calculated
in square meters.

The area calculation can be done in all three common coordinate systems, Cartesian, Spherical
and Geographic as well.
