Determines the geometric center of a polygon or shape.
npm install @turf/centroidComputes the centroid as the mean of all vertices within the object.
* geojson [GeoJSON][1] GeoJSON to be centered
* options [Object][2] Optional Parameters (optional, default {})
* options.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][3]<[Point][4]> the centroid of the input object
