centerpoints
Hearts of circles
Centerpoints are the exact middle locations of objects, shapes, or regions.
In geometry and design, finding the centerpoint allows for precise positioning, rotation, or measurement from a reference that's equidistant from all edges.
The term extends to abstract uses where centerpoint suggests the core or focal element of a discussion or system.
The architect marked the centerpoints of each column on the blueprint.
