Expand description
Geodesic measures over geometry: area and centroid.
Area uses the spherical-excess formula rather than a projected shoelace,
so it stays correct for polygons spanning arbitrary extents — the same
basis as crate::st_distance, which is haversine. Centroid follows OGC
semantics: the result is the centroid of the highest-dimension components
present, so a GeometryCollection of a polygon and a stray point returns
the polygon’s centroid, not a blend of the two.
Functions§
- st_area
- Geodesic area of a geometry in square meters.
- st_
centroid - Centroid of a geometry, as a
Point.
