"Have their center in" equivalent in ArcGIS API for Python

[geo_sunriver]

Is there an equivalent method in the Geometry class in the ArcGIS API for Python to the "Have their center in" operation that is used selecting by location in ArcGIS Pro?

  Or do I need to to compute the centroid (or true centroid) of my polygons and then check those points with a spatial predicate like .within() or .contains() against the container polygon?

I'm trying to create a script in an AGOL Notebook that will query taxlots with their centers inside an unincorporated communities polygon.

[DanPatterson · Accepted solution]

it isn't in your extensive list, not online, so your plan of course would be to use

true_centroid (a true centroid if it is within or on the feature) since they also lack a labelPoint method

This would only be of concern if you have extremely concave polygons

Thanks Dan! I'll continue forward with your advice. I'll post my solution once I complete it...

The methods below worked great.

dc_taxlots_sdf["CENTROIDS"] = dc_taxlots_sdf["SHAPE"].apply(lambda g: g.true_centroid)
dc_taxlots_sdf["SUNRIVER_TAXLOTS"] = dc_taxlots_sdf["CENTROIDS"].apply(lambda x: x.within(sb_geom_3857))
