oops... I meant:

x = fltarr(n)
for i=0,n-1 do x(i) = TOTAL(y(*,i) * findgen(m))

get the idea? Weight each column of y by its index and then total

also... I'm trying to be portable between PV-Wave and IDL, so I cannot
use the 2 argument total. (I just found that out)


: Anyway, here are centroids for you:

: Given e.g., I(x,y), an M x N array:

: X = REBIN(REFORM(FINDGEN(M),M,1,/OVERWRITE),M,N,/SAMPLE) ; Gives you X(x,y)

neat. I doubt I'd have come up with that.

: CTROIDS_X = TOTAL(I*X,1)/TOTAL(I,1) ; Gives an array of the centroids
: ; (the X centroid at each y index.)
: CTROID_X = TOTAL(I*X)/TOTAL(I) ; Gives the X Centroid coordinate
: ; of the whole array.
: ;------------ or, for Y centroids...

thanks.
