Subject: [postgis-users] st_centroid Points not on Polygon


I'm sure I ran across this in the forums a year ago, but:
 
Is the st_centroid function guaranteed to return a point that lies on the
polygon? I have instances when my display doe not place it on the polygon
when using st_centroid(st_intersection(the_geom, <WKT BBOX>));
 
Thanks in advance.
