A similar approach is "Monte Carlo" integration--basically you generate random x,y coordinates and calculate whether they are in the limit of the area you're measuring. The ratio of the number of points inside your area to the total number of points is a measure of the ratio of areas. Very useful for integrating complicated functions.
