centroid (dendrogram)

Returns the centroid (visual center point) of a geometry

Written by Holly Conrad Smith

Use this when you want to find the visual center of a geometry within a flow, for example placing a point that feels centered within an irregular polygon.

This centroid node returns the center point as a feature, including additional properties like rotation.
