function centroid = polygonCentroid3d(varargin)
%POLYGONCENTROID3D Centroid (or center of mass) of a polygon
%
%   PTC = polygonCentroid3d(POLY)
%   Computes center of mass of a polygon defined by POLY. POLY is a N-by-3
%   array of double containing coordinates of polygon vertices.
%
%   PTC = polygonCentroid3d(VX, VY, VZ)
%   Specifies vertex coordinates as three separate arrays.
%
%   Example
%     % compute centroid of a basic polygon
%     poly = [0 0 0; 10 0 10;10 10 20;0 10 10];
%     centro = polygonCentroid3d(poly)
%     centro =
%         5.0000    5.0000    10.0000
