Calling Sequence

centroid(G, g)

Parameters

G

-

the name of the centroid

g

-

triangle, set of points, or list of points

Description

• 

If g is a triangle, the centroid is the point of intersections of medians.

• 

For a detailed description of the centroid G, use the routine detail (i.e., detail(G))

• 

Note that the routine only works if the vertices of the triangle are known.

• 

The command with(geometry,centroid) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
