plot.CM


Plots tree centre of mass as a layer on top of the <code>plot.vector</code>.<p></p><p>CMs vector radii are proportional to CM magnitude. Tree CM is connected to tree base by an arrow showing the direction the tree would take in case of it falling down. $z$ coordinate of tree CM is printed alongside its vector (if branch height has been recorded in the field).

The centre of mass is a crucial data for arborists in order to
consolidate a tree using steel or dynamic cables. Given field-recorded data
on branchiness of a tree, the package: (i) computes and plots the centre of
mass of the tree itself, (ii) computes branches slenderness coefficient in
order to aid the arborist identify potentially dangerous branches, and
(iii) computes the force acting on a ground plinth and its best position
relating to the tree centre of mass, should the tree need to be stabilized
by a steel cable.
