<DIV><PRE style="WORD-WRAP: break-word">Grads users,
Has anyone come up with a way to take an area avg of the area within a
non-rectangle shape? The shape I'm looking for in this case resembles
the shape of Nevada. If not I can probably approximate the shape by
averaging a bunch of smaller rectangles.
Thanks in advance,
Greg
