geom3d[center] - find the center of a given geometric object
Calling Sequence
center(cn, c)
Parameters
cn
-
(optional) name
c
sphere, polyhedron
Description
The routine returns the name of the center of the given sphere, or polyhedron c.
If c is a stellated polyhedron (i.e., geom3d[IsStellated](c) returns true), center(c); returns the center of the core of the given stellated polyhedron.
if c is a facetted polyhedron (i.e., geom3d[IsFacetted](c); returns true), center(c); returns the center of the case of the given facetted polyhedron.
If the first optional argument cn is given, the name of the center c becomes cn.
Use coordinates or detail for more details on the center.
The command with(geom3d,center) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
