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 🙏

egm96-universal

Github-sponsors GitHub Repo stars Node.js CI npm Coverage Status

A library to convert between EGM96-relative altitudes and WGS84 ellipsoid-relative altitudes.

Works both in the browser and node.js, you can test the result on the demo page.

It uses the EGM96 sample data file provided by the NGA to lookup reference mean sea level and performs bilinear interpolation on the result.

This library is automatically tested by CI on the reference implementation in Fortran.

This project was initially created to allow usage of KML files (that use EGM96 as reference according to the specification, just like Google Earth) in Cesium. It should work for any similar task that necessitate conversion between the two references.

Usage

Installation

npm install egm96-universal

Import

const egm96 = require('egm96-universal')

or

import * as egm96 from 'egm96-universal'

Getting mean sea level according to EGM96

const msl = egm96.meanSeaLevel(latitudeInDegrees, longitudeInDegrees)
// mean sea level in meters relative to the WGS84 ellipsoid

Convert between WGS84 ellipsoid-relative altitude and EGM96-relative altitude

const egm96Alt = egm96.ellipsoidToEgm96(latitude, longitude, altitude)
const ellipsoidAlt = egm96.egm96ToEllipsoid(latitude, longitude, altitude)
