turf-centroid

turf-centroid

centroid

Takes one or more features and calculates the centroid using the mean of all vertices. This lessens the effect of small islands and artifacts when calculating the centroid of a set of polygons.

Parameters

• features (Feature | FeatureCollection) input features

Examples

var poly = {
  "type": "Feature",
  "properties": {},
  "geometry": {
    "type": "Polygon",
    "coordinates": [[
      [105.818939,21.004714],
      [105.818939,21.061754],
      [105.890007,21.061754],
      [105.890007,21.004714],
      [105.818939,21.004714]
    ]]
  }
};

var centroidPt = turf.centroid(poly);

var result = {
  "type": "FeatureCollection",
  "features": [poly, centroidPt]
};

//=result

Returns Feature<Point> the centroid of the input features
