The NBarycenterForce class represents an edge force, which tries to place connected vertices at their barycenter (center of gravity)

Remarks
The barycenter force is attractive by definition. It tries to collapse the vertices to the center of their mass. The force magnitude experienced by the vertices is specified by the following formulas:
vertex1Force = AttractionCoefficient * vertex1.Mass / (vertex1.Mass + vertex2.Mass)
vertex2Force = AttractionCoefficient * vertex2.Mass / (vertex1.Mass + vertex2.Mass)
The Mass parameter can be specified on a per vertex basis. If a vertex does not provide a concrete value for this parameter it is by default considered to be 1.
