Put label in the “center” of an SVG path

Question

I\'m trying to draw a label on a polygon of an svg file. The problem I\'m facing is to find out roughly the center of this polygon to place the label, as the path\'s coordinates

Answer 1

The simplest thing you could try doing is to calculate the center by taking the average of all the points in the polygon. It should work for all but the most irregular of polygons. I've used the same algorithm to good effect in my programs.

Best of luck.
