DESCRIPTION

r.centroids is a wrapper function for r.volume that computes the center point of raster clumps of data (neighboring, same-valued pixels). The centroids will always fall within the clump so they may not be the true, mathematical centroid. The centroids will always fall at the center of a pixel.

r.centroids requires an input raster containing clumps of data such as the output of r.clump.

EXAMPLES

Find the centroids of the basins map (North Carolina sample dataset). First, set computational area.
g.region raster=basin_50K
Then, compute the centroids.
r.centroids input=basin_50K output=centroids50K
r.centroids results
