turf centroid module
npm install @spatial/centroidTakes 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.
- geojson [GeoJSON][1] GeoJSON to be centered
- properties [Object][2] an Object that is used as the [Feature][3]'s properties (optional, default {})
``javascript
var polygon = turf.polygon([[[-81, 41], [-88, 36], [-84, 31], [-80, 33], [-77, 39], [-81, 41]]]);
var centroid = turf.centroid(polygon);
//addToMap
var addToMap = [polygon, centroid]
`
Returns [Feature][4]<[Point][5]> the centroid of the input features
