Examples

>>> import shapely
>>> from shapely import LineString, MultiPoint, Polygon
>>> shapely.point_on_surface(Polygon([(0, 0), (10, 0), (10, 10), (0, 10), (0, 0)]))
<POINT (5 5)>
>>> shapely.point_on_surface(LineString([(0, 0), (2, 2), (10, 10)]))
<POINT (2 2)>
>>> shapely.point_on_surface(MultiPoint([(0, 0), (10, 10)]))
<POINT (0 0)>
>>> shapely.point_on_surface(Polygon())
<POINT EMPTY>
