MeanAzimuth: Calculation of the mean azimuth of the azimuths

Description

This function calculates the mean azimuth of a set of input azimuths.

Usage

MeanAzimuth(azimuths)

Arguments

azimuths

Vector containing the values of the azimuths

Value

The value mean azimuth of all input azimuths. The value is expressed in sexagesimal.

Details

One way to obtain a set of azimuths from X and Y coordinates of the vectors is to use the LoadData function.
