vertexCenter

Find vertex center of surface mesh

Since R2022b

Syntax

vertexCenter(mesh)

vertexCenter(mesh) finds the center of the mesh vertices of the surface mesh mesh. The vertex center is the mean value of all vertices.

Define mesh vertices for a surface mesh.

vertices = [1 -1  1; 1 1 1; -1 1 1; -1 -1 1; ...
            1 -1 -1; 1 1 -1; -1 1 -1; -1 -1 -1];

Define the mesh faces using the vertices.

faces = [6 2 1; 1 5 6; 8 4 3; 3 7 8; 6 7 3; 3 2 6; ...
         5 1 4; 4 8 5; 4 1 2; 2 3 4; 7 6 5; 5 8 7];

Create and display the surface mesh.

mesh = surfaceMesh(vertices,faces);
surfaceMeshShow(mesh)

Find the vertex center of the surface mesh and display its coordinates.

center = vertexCenter(mesh);
disp(center)
