I would like to know about difference between inside point, centre of gravity and centre point transformer ? if any example to see differences. I tried with general shape file didn't find any differences.

What is difference between inside point, centre of gravity and centre point transformer ?

These used to be different transformers, but are now all integrated into the CenterPointReplacer transformer, with a different mode for each type.
The functionality is described in the documentation, be sure to expand the "Mode" parameter description:
- Center Point of Bounding Box: Replaces the geometry of the feature with a point that is in the center of the feature's bounding box. Depending on the feature’s shape, the resulting point may be far outside of the original feature.
- Center of Gravity Point: Replaces the geometry of the feature with a point at the center of mass of the feature. Depending on the feature’s shape, the resulting point may be far outside of the original feature.
- Any Inside Point: Replaces the geometry of the area feature with a point that is guaranteed to be inside the area.
