CentroidArea

Deprecated.
use Centroid instead
```
public class CentroidArea
extends java.lang.Object
```
Computes the centroid of an area geometry.
Algorithm
Based on the usual algorithm for calculating the centroid as a weighted sum of the centroids of a decomposition of the area into (possibly overlapping) triangles. The algorithm has been extended to handle holes and multi-polygons. See http://www.faqs.org/faqs/graphics/algorithms-faq/ for further details of the basic approach. The code has also be extended to handle degenerate (zero-area) polygons. In this case, the centroid of the line segments in the polygon will be returned.

public void add(Geometry geom)
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Adds the area defined by a Geometry to the centroid total. If the geometry has no area it does not contribute to the centroid.
    
    Parameters:
    
    geom - the geometry to add
  - add
```
public void add(Coordinate[] ring)
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Adds the area defined by an array of coordinates. The array must be a ring; i.e. end with the same coordinate as it starts with.
    
    Parameters:
    
    ring - an array of Coordinates
  - getCentroid
```
public Coordinate getCentroid()
```
    Deprecated.
