How to find the center point in this plot?

This is my plot. How to find the center point available in this plot?

[Walter Roberson]

Do you want the center of mass, or do you want the mid-point of the x and y values ?

Do you have

• Only the image?
• The figure window actively open in MATLAB?
• The data in the workspace from which the figure was created?

[Sabarinathan Vadivelu]

I want to extract the point (x,y) that is available near the center of the square. Also, I have all (x,y) coordinates of the points available in this plot.

[Sabarinathan Vadivelu]

I need a point that is nearer to the center of the square.

Answer 1

[Walter Roberson]

minx = min(x);
maxx = max(x);
centx = (minx + maxx) / 2;
miny = min(y);
maxy = max(y);
centy = (miny + maxy) / 2;
dist2 = (x - centx).^2 + (y - centy).^2;
[mindist2, idx] = min(dist2);
bestx = x(idx);
besty = y(idx);

Answer 2

[Thorsten]

 x = rand(1,100);
 y = rand(1,100);
 plot(x, y, 'r*')
 hold on
 plot(mean(x), mean(y), 'k*', 'MarkerSize', 20)

[Sabarinathan Vadivelu]

I need a point that is nearer to the center of the point in the square. Not to plot an another point in the center.

Did you ever figure this out?
