[R] centroid of manually given groups in a cca-plot
dear R-friends,
i have a set of vegetation and environmental data:
	veg <- read.table("http://www.alectoria.at/dl/rmalliveg.csv",
header=TRUE, sep=";")
	env <- read.table("http://www.alectoria.at/dl/rmallienv.csv",
header=TRUE, sep=";")
with the library "vegan" i did a constrained correspondence
analysis(cca):
	rmcca <- cca(veg,env)
and with ordihull from "vegan" it is possible to draw a line or
polygon around manually
given group(s) - (groups = Factor giving the groups for which the graphical item
is drawn) - in the plot of the cca.
	rmlab <- read.table("http://www.alectoria.at/dl/rmlabel.csv")
	attach(rmlab)
	ordihull(rmcca, V1, display="sites")
my question in a (more general) way: is it may be possible to get the
centroid-coordinates from such
manually given groups of a cca or is it may be possible to draw the centroid of
such group(s)?
with greetings from austria
helli
