Hi all,
the description of the function is scanty. I always assumed it
calculated the point within a polygon closest to the centorid, but I
read it may not be so:
https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/76498/how-is-st-pointonsurface-calculated
Is this confirmed?
In case, I suggest describing it in the manpage.
Thanks for any clarification.
Cheers.
