Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Azure Maps Gridded Data Source module

A module for the Azure Maps Web SDK that provides a data source that clusters data points into cells of a grid area.

This operation is also known by many names such as tessellations, data binning, or hex bins.

A couple of the key features of this module:

  • Generates pixel accurate cells for better visual appearance. Spatially accurate grids on a Web Mercator map are stretched and skewed which is less visually appelling.
  • Uses an index based clustering method for high performance rather than a point in polygon method.
  • Supports aggregate properties that calculates aggregate values from properties of all points within each grid cell, similar to the clustering functionality of a DataSource.
  • Grid cell polygons clipped at anti-merdian to ensure no overlapping of cells.
  • 6 different grid types:

| Name | Image | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | Hexagon | hexagon grid | A haxagon grid where the top of the hexagon is flat. | | Pointy hexagon | pointy hexagon grid | A haxagon grid where the top of the hexagon is pointy. | | Square | square grid | A sguare grid. | | Triangle | triangle grid | A triangular grid. | | Circle | circle grid | A square grid where cells are converted into circles. The circle does not cover the entire area the cell represents, but does include all points that would fall within the specified grid cell. | | Hexagon circle | hexagon circle grid | A haxagon grid where cells are converted into circles. The circle does not cover the entire area the cell represents, but does include all points that would fall within the specified grid cell. |

A lot of the hexagon grid based algorithms came from this awesome site.

Getting started

Download the project and copy the azure-maps-gridded-data-source JavaScript file from the dist folder into your project.

Ideas for enhancements

  • Use of web workers for large data sets.
  • Offloading calculations to WebGL.
  • Option for geospatially accurate grids.
  • Polygon mask to clip to.
