Calculate Diagonal Area

[Moriarty]

I have a big retangular npc sprite, and I wish to calculate the area it occupies.

Horizontal and Vertical calculation is easy.

Is know it's X area, Y area, position and direction.

I need now to calculate diagonal area, to get all the cells the npc occupies, not sure about the math behind it.
Remembering that npc position 1 and 5 != 3 and 7

 

Thanks
