# Apply Stokes' theorem to find the area of a polygon;
# we are looking at the boundary segment from (x1,y1)
# to (x2,y2), travelling anti-clockwise.  We find the
# area between this segment and the horizontal base-line
# y = ymin, and attach a sign s1.  (Positive if the
# segment is right-to-left, negative if left to right.)
# The area of the polygon is found by summing the result
# over all boundary segments.

# Just in case you thought this wasn't complicated enough,
# what we really want is the area of the intersection of
# the polygon with the rectangular window that we're using.
