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 🙏

Simplify polylines and polygons using the Ramer–Douglas–Peucker algorithm.

API

line-simplify-rdp

simplify(points, threshold, closed) ⇒ array

Return a simplified version of the polyline or polygon defined by the given points. Basically what happens is that some points are removed from the line, but only ones that leave the resulting line within a certain distance of the original.

Kind: Exported function
Returns: array - the simplified points. (This will always be separately allocated object, not the one passed in, but it will contain the same point objects passed in.)

| Param | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | points | array | polyline or polygon. Each element of the array must be an object with at least x and y numeric properties. Neither the array nor any member will be modified. | | threshold | number | maximum distance the simplified line can be from the original. Should be grater than or equal to zero. Passing zero means only colinear points will be eliminated; greater values lead to more aggressive line approximations. | | closed | boolean | if the passed first point and the last points are the same, this flag does nothing. Otherwise, if closed is true, the points will be treated as a polygon with an implied last segment between the last point and the first point. |
