------------------------------------
This is also failing in commons-geometry. See

> Barycenter of a clockwise SphericalPolygonsSet is incorrect.
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MATH-1507
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1507
> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.6.1
> Reporter: Baljit Singh
> Priority: Major
>
> Let's say there is a circle on a spherical surface.
> * The circle center is given by S2Point(theta=-0.6981, phi=0.87266). The
> radius is irrelevant.
> * Let's discretize this circle into a polygon with 100 edges. Let's make the
> orientation {color:#ff0000}clockwise{color}.
> * Since its a clockwise circle, from symmetry, we know that the barycenter
> would be around S2Point(theta=2.44346, phi=2.268928), which is just the
> reverse of the normal vector at the circle center.
> * Using SphericalPolygonsSet, the calculated barycenter is
> S2Point(theta=2.4922, phi=0.69889).
>
> A few things I've already tested:
> * For counterclockwise, the result is correct.
> * The perimeter and surface area of the polygon is correct for both
> counterclockwise and clockwise.
> * The SphericalPolygonsSet barycenter seems to be a function of the circle
> radius. From symmetry, we know that there should be no dependence on the
> circle radius.
> * The theta is kind of close. However, the phi is off about pi/2.
