# @turf/center

# center

Takes a [Feature](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#feature-objects) or [FeatureCollection](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#feature-collection-objects) and returns the absolute center point of all features.

**Parameters**

-   `layer` **([Feature](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#feature-objects) \| [FeatureCollection](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#feature-collection-objects))** input features

**Examples**

```javascript

//=result
```

Returns **[Feature](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#feature-objects)<[Point](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html#point)>** a Point feature at the absolute center point of all input features
