[][src]Module geo::algorithm::centroid

Calculate the centroid of a Geometry.

Traits

Centroid

Calculation of the centroid. The centroid is the arithmetic mean position of all points in the shape. Informally, it is the point at which a cutout of the shape could be perfectly balanced on the tip of a pin. The geometric centroid of a convex object always lies in the object. A non-convex object might have a centroid that is outside the object itself.
