Morning Bishop:
Could I ask you to keep email questions to the
[email protected] email list. As a volunteer I have
limited time and only occasionally get a break to answer questions.
If you are interested in formal assistance a number of organisations, including
my employer LISAsoft are in a position to provide support.
As for your question - it is one of the example questions in the geotools
training materials. There are two tricks to the answer:
- you need to create a new feature type that allows you to record a point
- you need to use geometry.centroid() when copying from your source feature
collection to your target feature collection
For the background needed please see:
