# spacepy.toolbox.bin_edges_to_center

spacepy.toolbox.bin_edges_to_center(edges)

  Convert a list of bin edges to their centers

  Given a list of edge values for a set of bins, finds the center of each bin. (start of bin n+1 is assumed to be end of bin n).

  Center of bin n is arithmetic mean of the edges of the adjacent bins.

  Parameters:
    edges list

      list of edge values for bins

  Returns:
    out numpy.ndarray

      array of centers for bins

    note: returned array will be one element shorter than edges

  Examples

      >>> import spacepy.toolbox as tb
      >>> tb.bin_center_to_edges([1,2,3])
      [0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5]
