def centroid(spectrum, region):
    """
    Calculate the centroid of a region, or regions, of the spectrum.

    Parameters
    ----------
    spectrum : `~specutils.spectra.spectrum1d.Spectrum1D`
        The spectrum object overwhich the centroid will be calculated.

    region: `~specutils.utils.SpectralRegion` or list of `~specutils.utils.SpectralRegion`
        Region within the spectrum to calculate the centroid.

    Returns
    -------
    centroid : float or list (based on region input)
        Centroid of the spectrum or within the regions

    Notes
    -----
    The spectrum will need to be continuum subtracted before calling
    this method. See the
    `analysis documentation <https://specutils.readthedocs.io/en/latest/basic_analysis.html>`_ for more information.

    Parameters
    ----------
    spectrum : `~specutils.spectra.spectrum1d.Spectrum1D`
        The spectrum object overwhich the centroid will be calculated.

    region: `~specutils.utils.SpectralRegion`
