gCentroid | R Documentation |
Function calculates the centroid of the given geometry.
gCentroid(spgeom, byid=FALSE, id = NULL)
spgeom |
sp object as defined in package sp |
byid |
Logical determining if the function should be applied across subgeometries (TRUE) or the entire object (FALSE) |
id |
Character vector defining id labels for the resulting geometries, if unspecified returned geometries will be labeled based on their parent geometries' labels. |
Returns a SpatialPoints object of the centroid(s) for spgeom.
