Now area of this polygon is negative value.

#3 Updated by Jürgen Fischer almost 14 years ago

um, I get 2849751229.32861 - just like in the identify results. And the earlier problem wasn't that the area wasn't calculated, but only that the attribute table didn't show the updated result.

0c31b555 (SVN r14411), tried new and existing AREA field - all seems normal (result is correct)

#5 Updated by Maxim Dubinin almost 14 years ago

I'm afraid I have to take it back, I do have negatives too, please check this video:

That's what you get when you try to save 2849751229.32861 in a 32bit integer. Use a real field.

#11 Updated by Borys Jurgiel over 13 years ago

I can confirm. Creating integer as well as floating point fails. Right after calculating you can see proper values (as they're not updated from layer), but after layer save they becomes negative.

However, updating the existing AREA field works fine.

Replying to [comment:11 borysiasty]:

I can confirm. Creating integer as well as floating point fails.

For floating values the problem happen if you assign precision = 0, otherwise area is correct.
