teradataml.geospatial.geodataframe.GeoDataFrame.point_on_surface = point_on_surface(self)
DESCRIPTION:
    Returns a point that is guaranteed to spatially intersect an ST_Polygon,
    or at least one of the component polygons of an ST_MultiPolygon.
 
PARAMETERS:
    None
 
SUPPORTED GEOMETRY TYPES:
    ST_Polygon and ST_MultiPolygon
    Note:
        This method can be called on 3D geometries (those that include Z
        coordinates). However, the Z coordinate is dropped, and only x and y
        coordinates are returned.
 
RAISES:
    TypeError, ValueError, TeradataMlException
 
RETURNS:
    GeoDataFrame with result column containing Geometry values
 
EXAMPLES:
    from teradataml import GeoDataFrame, load_example_data
    from teradataml import Point, LineString, Polygon
    # Load example data.
    load_example_data("geodataframe", "sample_shapes")
    # Create a GeoDataFrame.
    geodf = GeoDataFrame("sample_shapes")
    print(geodf)
    
    # Example 1: Get the point in polygon geometries that is guaranteed to spatially intersect.
    # Let's select only few columns from GeoDataFrame.
    pols = geodf.select(["skey", "polygons"])[geodf.skey.isin([1001, 1002, 1003])]
    pols.point_on_surface()
