-   `geojson` **[GeoJSON][5]** GeoJSON to be centered
-   `options` **[Object][6]** Optional Parameters (optional, default `{}`)
    -   `options.properties` **[Object][6]** Translate Properties to Feature (optional, default `{}`)

**Examples**

```javascript
var polygon = turf.polygon([[[-81, 41], [-88, 36], [-84, 31], [-80, 33], [-77, 39], [-81, 41]]]);

var center = turf.centerOfMass(polygon);

//addToMap
var addToMap = [polygon, center]
```
