getCentroid {venn}

Calculate the centroid of a polygon.

Description

This function takes a list of dataframes or a matrices containing x and y values, which define zones (polygons), and calculates their centroids.

Usage

getCentroid(data)

Arguments

data

A matrix or a dataframe with two columns, for x and y coordinates

Details

Most of the coordinates for the intersection labels in this package were calculated using the formula for a centroid of a non-self-intersecting closed polygon, approximated by 10 vertices.

Value

A list with x and y coordinates, for each zone in the input list.

Examples

venn("0110")

# centroid for the intersection "0110" in a 4 set diagram
centroid <- getCentroid(getZones("0110"))[[1]]

text(centroid[1], centroid[2], labels = "0110", cex = 0.85)


# centroids for the two zones in the "E not A" zones
venn(5)
area <- getZones("0---1") # list of length 2

polygon(area[[1]], col="lightblue")

polygon(area[[2]], col="lightblue")

text(do.call("rbind", getCentroid(area)),
     labels = c("zone 1", "zone 2"), cex = 0.85)
