Re: How to find the area for two overlapped pattern?

Thanks for the information. I thought what was described in the problem is a Convolution operation? Need to write the check-board patterns into a matrix (maybe a 60 X 48 matrix? ) with 0s (black square) and 1s (white square), and somehow write the circle as a matrix also (all element=1 inside, not sure how this can be done properly).
After the matrix is built, as the circle is drag along the check-board by 640 steps, the transmissive area of the check-board fall into the 3mm circle will the convolution of the two matrix?
Need help on how to build the matrix and get a [640 X 480] matrix as the out put though.
