R help - Jul 2013 - how to calculate the average values of each row in a matrix

Hello,

I have a matrix (class matrix) composed of GridCell (row and column).
The matrix value is the beta diversity index value between two grids.

Now I would like to get the average value of each GridCell.
Please kindly advise how to make the calculation.
Thank you.

Elaine

I would like to get the average value of each color.
