Re: [JAVA3D] Center of gravity of a polygon

[Jean-Robert D'Amore]

if you've got a solid shape of n points, each points Pi being affected of the mass mi, then the center of the polygon G is defined by the equation:
[Sum(i=0, i<=n) mi ] G = Sum(i=0,i<=n) mi*Pi     ( if Sum(i=0,i<=n) mi != 0)

somebody tell me how can I calculate the center of gravity of this
polygon.



Thanks

This is quite simple since it is the barycenter of the polygon if I'm
not totally wrong. You just add all x-ccordinates together and then
divide by the count of Polygons. Same fpr y and z and voila you have
your center...
