===Marking specific locations or buildings===
Its possible that, during a project, a specific location needs to be checked for the presence of something. For example, buildings with a specific function or category, or a type of terrain. Using a [[TQL]] query, such locations can be checked. But to do this, a polygon must mark that location. Because [[zone]]s and [[neighborhood]]s have specific meanings, it may be undesirable to redraw those just to facilitate a query. Areas can be used to indicate a location instead.
===Integrating spatial data===
Because areas can be given attributes, areas can be used to indicate spatial data not covered by other components of the {{software}}. The data can then be used in, and manipulated by, other parts of the {{software}} or by calculation models implemented when editing the project. This allows the {{software}} to support projects beyond basic city planning.

In the Tygron Platform, an area is comprised of a polygon, a name and a number of attributes, which can be completely user-defined. Areas do not do much on their own, but can be used in conjunction with Overlays, TQL and Excel to implement powerful and complex calculations for a project.

Contrary to constructions, neighborhoods, or terrains, areas are allowed to overlap. They are also not bound to a layer. Because of this, they can be used for multiple purposes at the same time. By using attributes, it's possible to define and identify the purpose of an area.

Overlays

Main article: Areas (Overlay).

Areas can be added to an areas overlay. This overlay can be used to present information to the user. By using areas, the information displayed by the overlay can be directly related to calculations based on those areas. The overlay can also be changed during the session, if the areas change their polygon or color.
