| description abstract | Version 5.0 of the ARC/INFO geographic information system (GIS) does not support a single command to correctly determine the centroid of a polygon. The CREATELABELS command, which is intended to center a polygon label, was used previously to estimate drainage‐basin centroid locations for hydrologic modeling. The use of the polygon CREATELABELS command resulted in an average error of 22% when used to estimate the centroid location of an equilateral triangle. A relatively simple procedure is suggested to compute accurately centroid locations. | |
