+        Return the midpoint of each interval in the IntervalIndex as an Index.
+
+        Each midpoint is calculated as the average of the left and right bounds
+        of each interval. The midpoints are returned as a pandas Index object.
+
+        Returns
+        -------
+        pandas.Index
+            An Index containing the midpoints of each interval.
+

+        --------
+        IntervalIndex.left : Return the left bounds of the intervals
+            in the IntervalIndex.
+        IntervalIndex.right : Return the right bounds of the intervals
+            in the IntervalIndex.
+        IntervalIndex.length : Return the length of the intervals in
+            the IntervalIndex.
+
+        Notes
+        -----
+        The midpoint is the average of the interval bounds, potentially resulting
+        in a floating-point number even if bounds are integers. The returned Index
+        will have a dtype that accurately holds the midpoints. This computation is
+        the same regardless of whether intervals are open or closed.
