Description
This is a PR for the Point on Surface tool for the Analytic Toolbox for BQ.
This tool gives a point close to the centroid but makes sure it's always inside the polygon. With the centroid, sometimes it's outside the polygon, like with semicircular or circular shapes, rings, or holes within.
The Point on Surface always gives a point inside the polygon. This is Postgres' implementation and explanation https://postgis.net/docs/ST_PointOnSurface.html .
