Returns a feature containing the point at the center of the highest-dimension components of the geometry of a feature. Lower-dimensional components are ignored, so the centroid of a geometry containing two polygons, three lines and a point is equivalent to the centroid of a geometry containing just the two polygons.
Usage
Returns
Feature.centroid(maxError, proj)
Feature
Argument
Type
Details
this: feature
Element
Calculates the centroid of this feature's default geometry.
maxError
ErrorMargin, default: null
The maximum amount of error tolerated when performing any necessary reprojection.
proj
Projection, default: null
If specified, the result will be in this projection. Otherwise it will be in EPSG:4326.
