GeoJSON Utilities for JavaScript
Here you will find some functions to help you manipulate and work with GeoJSON objects.
Some algorithms adapted from bjwbell/canvas-geolib
How to use!
Load up in a browser OR npm install geojson-utils
var gju = require('geojson-utils');
You now have an object named gju
that contains all of the helper functions.
Remember, GeoJSON coordinates are ordered [x,y] or [longitude,latitude] to comply with the Open Geospatial Consortium's recommendation!
Line intersections
gju.linesIntersect({ "type": "LineString", "coordinates": [[0, 2], [5, 2]] },
{ "type": "LineString", "coordinates": [[3, 0], [3, 4], [4,4], [4,0]] })
// [{"type":"Point","coordinates":[2,3]},{"type":"Point","coordinates":[2,4]}]
gju.linesIntersect({ "type": "LineString", "coordinates": [[0, 2], [5, 2]] },
{ "type": "LineString", "coordinates": [[0, 0], [5, 0]] })
// false
Point in polygon
gju.pointInPolygon({"type":"Point","coordinates":[3,3]},
{"type":"Polygon", "coordinates":[[[0,0],[6,0],[6,6],[0,6]]]})
// [{"type":"Point","coordinates":[3,3]}]
gju.pointInPolygon({"type":"Point","coordinates":[-1,-1]},
{"type":"Polygon", "coordinates":[[[0,0],[6,0],[6,6],[0,6]]]})
// false
Radius filtering
If you retrieve a bunch of results from a bounding box query (common with R-tree geo DBs), but you want to filter the rectangular result set by circular radius:
// get the center of the original bounding box
var center = gju.rectangleCentroid({
"type": "Polygon",
"coordinates": [[[-122.677, 45.523], [-122.675, 45.524]]]
}),
// radius (in meters)
radius = 100;
for (var i in geometryObjectsWithinBBox) {
if (gju.geometryWithinRadius(geometryObjectsWithinBBox[i], center, radius)) {
// ... do stuff with objects inside the circle
}
}
Distance between two points
Uses the Haversine distance formula to calculate the distance between two points on the Earth's curved surface (as the crow flies, no hills!). Returns the distance in meters.
gju.pointDistance({type: 'Point', coordinates:[-122.67738461494446, 45.52319466622903]},
{type: 'Point', coordinates:[-122.67652630805969, 45.52319466622903]})
// 66.86677669313518
and much much more!
