polygon-coordinates

Generate coordinates for equilateral polygons around a center point.

Example

var latitude = 40.727093;
var longitude = -73.97864; 
var hexagon = PolygonCoordinates.polygonCoordinates(latitude, longitude, 6, 1);
/* [ [ 40.73608566148679, -73.97864 ],
  [ 40.73158887501089, -73.9683627060913 ],
  [ 40.72259621361338, -73.96836409475593 ],
  [ 40.71810033851322, -73.97864 ],
  [ 40.72259621361338, -73.98891590524406 ],
  [ 40.73158887501089, -73.98891729390868 ] ] */

A destinationCoordinate function is also exposed.

var destinationCoord = PolygonCoordinates.destinationCoordinate(latitude, longitude, 90, 1);
// Result is a point 1km away from pointA, with a 90 degree bearing from north.
/* { latitude: 40.739809328332115
    longitude: -73.99542482446876 } */

Methods

polygonCoordinates(lat, lng, numVertices, radiusKm, opts)

• lat - latitude
• lng - longitude
• numVertices - number of vertices/sides for the regular polygon
• radiusKm - distance, in km, of each vertex from the center point
• opts
  • coordinateOrder - {'xy' | 'yx'} Order of lat,long in returned coordinates. Default: 'xy', which is lat,long
  • closeRing - {true|false} If true, will return n+1 points for an n-sided polygon, with the last equal to the first Default: false.
  • startBearing - Degrees. Bearing at which to start at. Use to rotate the polygon. Default: 0.
