     :param triangle: Output vector of three 2D points defining the vertices of the triangle. The depth of the OutputArray must be ``CV_32F``.
 
-    :param area: The area of the minimum enclosing triangle.
+    :param area: The area of the minimum enclosing triangle. The ``C`` interface of the function allows providing a ``NULL`` pointer for this parameter in order for the value of the area not to be returned.
 
 The output for a given 2D point set is shown in the image below. The 2D points are depicted in *red* and the enclosing triangle in *yellow*.
