 <code javascript>
-let myshape = sphere({radius: 5})
+const myshape = sphere({radius: 5})
 let newshape = center({}, myshape)  // center the shape across all axes
 newshape = center({axes: [true, true, false]}, myshape)  // center the object across only X and Y axis
-newshape = center({center: [5, 6, 7]}, myshape)  // center the shape at the given center
+newshape = center({relativeTo: [5, 6, 7]}, myshape)  // center the shape relative to the given point

+There are also simple versions of this function to center the shape about the origin.
+<code javascript>
+const myshape = sphere({radius: 5})
+let newshape = centerX(myshape)
+newshape = centerY(newshape)
+newshape = centerZ(newshape)
