# GeoDataFrame.centroid

> Returns a GeoSeries of points representing the centroid of each geometry.

Returns a `GeoSeries` of points representing the centroid of each
geometry.

Note that centroid does not have to be on or within original geometry.

## Examples

```python theme={"system"}
>>> from sedona.spark.geopandas import GeoSeries
>>> from shapely.geometry import Polygon, LineString, Point
>>> s = GeoSeries(
...     [
...         Polygon([(0, 0), (1, 1), (0, 1)]),
...         LineString([(0, 0), (1, 1), (1, 0)]),
...         Point(0, 0),
...     ]
... )
>>> s
0    POLYGON ((0 0, 1 1, 0 1, 0 0))
1        LINESTRING (0 0, 1 1, 1 0)
2                       POINT (0 0)
dtype: geometry
```

```python theme={"system"}
>>> s.centroid
0    POINT (0.33333 0.66667)
1        POINT (0.70711 0.5)
2                POINT (0 0)
dtype: geometry
```
