soiltexture (version 1.5.1)

TT.polygon.centroids: Internal. Determines the centroid of 1 polygon (in x-y coordinates).

Description

Determines the centroid of 1 non-intersecting polygon (in x-y

coordinates). Used to determine the centroid of each texture

class in the texture triangle onces its clay silt sand

coordinates have been converted to x-y coordinates. pol.x[1]:pol.y[1]

is supposed different from pol.x[n]:pol.y[n] (i.e. the polygon

is NOT closed).

Usage

TT.polygon.centroids(pol.x, pol.y)

Value

Returns a vector of 2 numericals: x and y coordinates of

the polygon's centroid. Vector items are names "x" and "y".

Arguments

pol.x

Vector of numericals. X coordinates of each vertices of the

polygon.

pol.y

Vector of numericals. Y coordinates of each vertices of the

polygon.
