get_geometric_midpoint

pyhelpers.geom.get_geometric_midpoint(pt1, pt2, as_geom=False)[source]

Get the midpoint between two points.

Parameters:

pt1 (shapely.geometry.Point | list | tuple | numpy.ndarray) – a point
pt2 (shapely.geometry.Point | list | tuple | numpy.ndarray) – another point
as_geom (bool) – whether to return shapely.geometry.Point, defaults to False

Returns:

the midpoint between pt1 and pt2

Return type:

tuple | shapely.geometry.Point | None

Examples:

>>> from pyhelpers.geom import get_geometric_midpoint

>>> pt_1, pt_2 = (1.5429, 52.6347), (1.4909, 52.6271)

>>> geometric_midpoint = get_geometric_midpoint(pt_1, pt_2)
>>> geometric_midpoint
(1.5169, 52.6309)

>>> geometric_midpoint = get_geometric_midpoint(pt_1, pt_2, as_geom=True)
>>> geometric_midpoint.wkt
'POINT (1.5169 52.6309)'
