CGAL::barycenter()
Principal Component Analysis Reference

The function barycenter() computes the barycenter (weighted center of mass) of a set of 2D or 3D weighted points.

The weight associated to each point is specified using a std::pair storing the point and its weight.

There is a set of overloaded barycenter functions for 2D and 3D weighted points. The user can also optionally pass an explicit kernel, in case the default, based on Kernel_traits is not sufficient. The dimension is also deduced automatically.

Function Documentation

template<typename InputIterator >
Deduced CGAL::barycenter ( InputIterator  first,
InputIterator  beyond 
)

computes the barycenter of a non-empty set of 2D or 3D weighted points.

Returns
K::Point_2 or K::Point_3 depending on the dimension of the input values, where K is
CGAL::Kernel_traits<
std::iterator_traits<InputIterator>::value_type::first_type
>::Kernel
Template Parameters
InputIteratormust have std::pair<K::Point_2, K::FT> or std::pair<K::Point_3, K::FT> as value type.
Precondition
first != beyond, and the sum of the weights is non-zero.

#include <CGAL/barycenter.h>

InputIterator  beyond,
const K &  k 
)

Returns
K::Point_2 or K::Point_3 depending on the dimension of the input values.
Template Parameters
InputIteratormust have std::pair<K::Point_2, K::FT> or std::pair<K::Point_3, K::FT> as value type.
Precondition
first != beyond, and the sum of the weights is non-zero.
