I have 2 tables;

table 1:

ctr = {(Exp[Pi*0.5] + 1)/2, 0};
radius = (Exp[Pi*0.5] - 1)/2;
pp = PolarPlot[
  Evaluate@Table[Exp[(t + 2*Pi*i/120)*0.5], {i, 1, 120}], {t, -Pi, 
   Pi}, RegionFunction -> (Norm[{#, #2} - ctr] <= radius &)]
Total[ArcLength /@ Cases[pp, _Line, All]]

spiral

and table 2:

ctr = {(Exp[Pi*0.5] - 1)/2, 0};
radius = (Exp[Pi*0.5] - 1)/2;
pp2 = ParametricPlot[
  Evaluate[Table[{t, t (Tan[2 j Pi / 120])}, {j, 1, 60}]], {t, -5, 5},
   RegionFunction -> (Norm[{#, #2} - ctr] <= radius &), 
  PlotRange -> All]
Total[ArcLength /@ Cases[pp2, _Line, All]]

Line

I want to calculate each area between the curves and show them in histogram so I can evaluate maximum and minimum gaps between the tables. I illustrated what I want as below:

gradient

can you show me how?

You could define a ParametricRegion , examplary between curves #10 and #11

reg10 = ParametricRegion[{{Cos[t], Sin[t]} Exp[(t + 2*Pi*ii/120)/2], (Sqrt[#.#] < radius) &[{Cos[t],Sin[t]} Exp[(t + 2*Pi*ii/120)/2] - ctr]}
, {{t, -Pi, Pi}, {ii, 10, 11}}]
DiscretizeRegion[reg10]

enter image description here

Area[DiscretizeRegion[reg10]]
(*0.0592725*)

addendum

Knowing the plot pp a very fast straightforward solution is possible: First get the Line-objects from the plot

linien = Cases[pp, _Line , Infinity];

Two neighboring lines form a polygon from which the area can be calculated

areas=Table[ Area@Polygon[Join[linien[[i]][[1]], Reverse[linien[[i + 1]][[1]]]]], {i,1, Length[linien] - 1}] 
(*{0.0243947, 0.0281509, 0.0318023, 0.0353948, 0.039143, 0.0430014, \

That's it! Hope it helps.

  • $\begingroup$ Thank you very much! However, how could I store each of the ares into a table so I can show the histogram could you help me with that as well? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Put it in a Table[...,{i,1,119}] $\endgroup$ Feb 23, 2019 at 17:57
  • $\begingroup$ @ Alper91 Look at the edit of my answer, I added a solution which only needs to know pp $\endgroup$ Feb 23, 2019 at 19:44
  • $\begingroup$ Thanks. It worked easily. $\endgroup$
