Let C and C′ be two smooth self transverse immersions of S1 into R2. BothC and C′ divide the plane into a number of disks and one unbounded component.An isotopy of the plane which takes C to C′ induces a 1-1 correspondence betweenthe disks of C and C′. An obvious necessary condition for there to exist an areapreserving isotopy of the plane taking C to C′ is that there exists an isotopy forwhich the area of every disk of C has the same area as the corresponding disk ofC′. In this paper we show that this is also a sufficient condition.
