+#' Extract coordinates from 'sf' objects
+#'
+#' `stat_sf_coordinates()` extracts the coordinates from 'sf' objects and
+#' summarises them to one pair of coordinates (x and y) per geometry. This is
+#' convenient when you draw an sf object as geoms like text and labels (so
+#' [geom_sf_text()] and [geom_sf_label()] relies on this).
+#'
+#' @rdname stat_sf_coordinates
+#' @details
+#' coordinates of an `sf` object can be retrieved by `sf::st_coordinates()`.
+#' But, we cannot simply use `sf::st_coordinates()` because, whereas text and
+#' labels require exactly one coordinate per geometry, it returns multiple ones
+#' for a polygon or a line. Thus, these two steps are needed:
+#'
+#' 1. Choose one point per geometry by some function like `sf::st_centroid()`
+#'    or `sf::st_point_on_surface()`.
+#' 2. Retrieve coordinates from the points by `sf::st_coordinates()`.
+#'
+#' For the first step, you can use an arbitrary function via `fun.geometry`.
+#' By default, `function(x) sf::st_point_on_surface(sf::st_zm(x))` is used;
+#' `sf::st_point_on_surface()` seems more appropriate than `sf::st_centroid()`
+#' since lables and text usually are intended to be put within the polygon or
+#' the line. `sf::st_zm()` is needed to drop Z and M dimension beforehand,
+#' otherwise `sf::st_point_on_surface()` may fail when the geometries have M
+#' dimension.
