Hi: look for Centroid calculations:
>help.search("centroid") will show:
Help files with alias or concept or title matching 'centroid' using
fuzzy matching:
apply.polygon(maps) Polygon functions
get.Pcent(maptools) Polygon centroids
calcCentroid(PBSmapping) Calculate the Centroids of
Polygons
centroid.owin(spatstat) Centroid of a window
affinexy(spatstat) Internal spatstat functions
I suspect that the best one for your case would be centroid.owin, since
it has the most
straightforward input data requirements.
Hope this helps,
Rick Reeves
