[R-sig-Geo] Just ckecking: voronoi mosaic.cells[[i]]$area[] units?

[Rick Reeves]

Greetings: 

Just would like to confirm my expectations 
for the units of the $area field of mosaic.cells: 

The areas are in the squared units of the .cells$nodes 
coordinates? for example, if my $nodes are in decimal degree 
units, then the $area field units are implicitly degrees squared? 

Thanks!
