Circumcenter: Computes the circumcenter of a given triangle, that is, the intersection of its three medians

Description

Circumcenter computes the center of a triangle

Usage

Circumcenter(Tri, lines = F)

Arguments

Tri

Triangle object, previously created with function CreatePolygon

lines

Boolean. When lines = TRUE, the plot displays the lines that represent the medians of each of the sides of the triangle. If missing, it works as with lines = FALSE, so the lines are not displayed

Value

Vector which contains the xy-coordinates of the circumcenter of the triangle

Examples

# NOT RUN {
P1 <- c(0,0)
P2 <- c(1,1)
P3 <- c(2,0) 
Tri <- CreatePolygon(P1, P2, P3)
x_min <- -5
x_max <- 5
y_min <- -5
y_max <- 5
CoordinatePlane(x_min, x_max, y_min, y_max)
Draw(Tri, "transparent")
I <- Circumcenter(Tri, lines = TRUE)
Draw(I, "red")
# }
