Area
An area is a surface or plane. It is a 2 dimensional indication of a location, more spread out than a single point.
Areas in the Tygron Engine
In the Tygron Engine, an area is a generic form of data. An area is comprised of a polygon and a number of attributes, which can be completely user-defined. They do not do much on their own, but can be used in conjuction with TQL and Excel to implement more complex and user-defined calculations for a project.
How areas can be used
Areas can be used for a number of purposes:
- To create an overlay
- To mark specific locations or buildings
- To provide spatial data not yet covered by the built-in components of the engine
