[Qgis-user] polygon centroids

[Alexandre Neto]

Hello Leo,

That's quite straightforward actually. In the field calculator (or in any
other instance of expression builder) there are 2 geometry functions to
achieve what you need,  $x and $y.

You can either put them in separate fields or create a string to populate a
single one. Something like this,

$x || ' , ' || $y

Would produce something like this:

'1234.56 , 9876.43'

Notice that the double pipe character || works as a string concatenator.
And that the result is a string therefore not useful for any arithmetic
operations after.

Hope this helped.

Best regards,

Alexandre Neto
