Centroid of a convex polygon

Description

Computes Centroid of a convex polygon in plane.

Usage

centroid(x, y=NULL,...)

Arguments

x	The data as a matrix, data frame or list. If it is a matrix or data frame, then each row is viewed as one bivariate observation. If it is a list, all components must be numerical vectors of equal length (coordinates of observations).
y	The data as a matrix, data frame or list. If it is a matrix or data frame, then each row is viewed as one bivariate observation. If it is a list, all components must be numerical vectors of equal length (coordinates of observations).
...	For future use.

Details

In dimension 2, calculates centroid of a convex polygon.

Value

Returns with respect to data set, the centroid point in plane.
