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 🙏

Readme

radial-index

Compute radial order indices from unordered Cartesian coordinates relative to the origin or a specified point.

Use

$ var ri = require('radial-index')
$ var points = [
    [-10, -26],
    [-11, 18],
    [11, 27]
  ];
$ console.log(ri.getIndicesFromPoints(points));
[1, 2, 0]

Note that the response array provides the indices in the same sequence as the original points argument.

Options

getIndicesFromPoints optionally takes a configuration object as its second argument. That configuration object provides three additional parameters to getIndicesFromPoints.

{
    center:    Array. Format: [x, y]. Set the coordinate around which the radial indexing will occur.
    ccw:       Boolean. (Any truthy value.) Compute indices with a counter-clockwise rotation.
    rotate:    Number. From -360 to 360. The degree offset from the positive y-axis to begin the indexing rotation.
}

center is set to the origin [0, 0] unless otherwise specified. Also by default, getIndicesFromPoints indexes points in a clockwise fashion starting from the positive y-axis (start at the 12 o'clock position moving to the right). To override this behavior and rotate in a counter-clockwise fashion, set ccw to true. Finally, rotate controls the angle from which the indexing movement should begin--by default, the positive y-axis. Setting rotate to 90, for example, would start the indexing at the positive x-axis instead.

Examples

         [y]
       (0, 100)
          |
          |  A
          |
----------+---------- (100, 0) [x]
 C        |
          |     B
          |

For the following examples, assume that A = [A.x, A.y], B = [B.x, B.y], etc. By default, getIndicesFromPoints([A, B, C]) would return [0, 1, 2] because the indexer would start from [y] and sweep clockwise hitting A, then B, then C. That is:

$ ri.getIndicesFromPoints([A, B, C])
[0, 1, 2]

Other examples:

$ ri.getIndicesFromPoints([A, B, C], {ccw: true})
[2, 1, 0]

$ ri.getIndicesFromPoints([A, B, C], {rotate: 90})
[2, 0, 1]

$ ri.getIndicesFromPoints([A, B, C], {ccw: true, rotate: 270})
[2, 1, 0]

$ ri.getIndicesFromPoints([A, B, C], {center: [-500, -500]})
[1, 2, 0]

Install

npm install radial-index

Test

npm test

Caveat emptor

Calculating the radial component of a polar coordinate relies on trignometric functions that often produce extended floating point numbers. The accuracy of indexing is therefore subject to JavaScript's floating point precision limitations. For general information about floating point issues see the floating point guide.
