Area between a curve and a baseline

I want to create a base line (red line) from the plot and calculate area between the base line and curve (blue line).Curve is a vector. Baseline is drawn manually using code below. [x y]=ginput(2); line(x,y);
Any help/ suggestions is highly appreciated.
Thanks

data - your array < 2 x N >, data(1,:) - abscissa; data(2,:) - ordinate.
plot(data(1,:),data(2,:));
[x y]=ginput(2);
t = x(1) <= data(1,:) & x(2) >= data(1,:);
X = data(1,t);
out = trapz(X,diff([interp1(x,y,X);data(2,t);]))

You could try something along the lines of this:
% Just making some data
x0 = 0:0.001:5;
y0 = sin(x0);
plot(x0,y0);
grid on; set(gca,'layer','top');
% Get your two points
[x y]=ginput(2); line(x,y);
% Break up the line segment into a sufficiently fine grid
N = 10001;
x_fine = linspace(x(1),x(2),N);
dx = x_fine(2)-x_fine(1);
% Interpolate the values at the grid points
top = interp1(x0,y0,x_fine); % Top of the area
bottom = interp1(x,y,x_fine); % Bottom of the area
% Get the area using TRAPZ and show it
area = dx*trapz(top-bottom)
patch([x_fine fliplr(x_fine)], [top fliplr(bottom)],'r');
Just replace the sine with whatever data you are using (the example above uses row vectors, so if your data is in a column instead, you'll probably have to make some minor modifications)
