Script to find the area of shapes in Adobe Illustrator

GetShapeArea.jsx

/* Save this file with a jsx extension and place in your
Illustrator/Presets/en_US/Scripts folder. You can then
access it from the File > Scripts menu */

var decimalPlaces = 3;

if (app.documents.length > 0) {

	if (app.activeDocument.selection.length < 1) {
		alert('Select a path');
	} else if (app.activeDocument.selection[0].area) {
		// Individual Items
		var objects =  app.activeDocument.selection;
	} else if (app.activeDocument.selection[0].pathItems) {
		// Group/Compound Shape
		var objects = app.activeDocument.selection[0].pathItems;
	} else {
		alert('Please select a path or group.');
	}

	// Collect info
	var totalArea = 0;
	for (var i=0; i<objects.length; i++) {
		if (objects[i].area) {
			var totalArea = totalArea + objects[i].area;
		}
	}

	// Conversions
	var ppi = 72;
	var areaIn = totalArea / ppi / ppi;
	if (areaIn < 0) var areaIn = -areaIn;
	var areaCm = areaIn * 6.4516;

	// Display
	alert('Shape Area\
	' + areaIn.toFixed(decimalPlaces) + ' in² \
	' + areaCm.toFixed(decimalPlaces) + ' cm² \n\
	' + i + ' shapes');

}

Im not sure adding this to the script will help. Its kinda of a specific workflow

Have a look at my version. It has been updated with more functionality
https://github.com/schroef/Illustrator-Scripts/blob/master/GetShapeArea-dialog.jsx

You can easily use magic wand to iterate over colors and than run the script each time

Thank you bro! Btw, can this one work on Adobe Photoshop 2024 too?

谢谢你，兄弟！顺便说一句，这个也可以在 Adob e Photoshop 2024 上运行吗？

Ah i tried and it failed...

No its an Illustrator script. Photoshop doesnt have a prop like area. But they have the measurement tool there

You'd need to convert the image to a selection, convert the selection to a path, export the path to Illustrator, then run the script in Illustrator.

It seems like PS cannot measure an irregular area...

Thx! I am turning my work into illustrator
