Dear all,

I have a polygon vector, and need to add point in the center of mass of each
one.
I used v.centroid, but it adds just a centroid, but not in the central
position of the polygon area.

v.centerpoint from addons [0] does that.

Right, I forgot about this nice addon!
Perhaps its functionality might be merged into v.centroids [1]?

No, because the center of mass is not always within the area.

But couldn't that be a documented flag (e.g. something like this: 'always place centroid within the area (for GRASS polygon)').

Personally, I support MarkusN's idea of merging the two, if that's possible from the code point of view. I find it more intuitive to look for a module creating centroids...
