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 🙏

robust-predicates

Fast robust predicates for computational geometry in JavaScript. Provides reliable 2D and 3D point orientation tests (orient2d, orient3d, incircle, insphere) that are not susceptible to floating point errors (without sacrificing performance). A modern port of Jonathan R Shewchuk's C code, an industry standard since 1996.

Figure: non-robust vs robust orient2d test for points within a tiny range (2-42).

API

Note: unlike J. Shewchuk's original code, all the functions in this library assume y axis is oriented downwards ↓, so the semantics are different.

orient2d(ax,ay, bx,by, cx,cy)

  • Returns a positive value if the points a, b, and c occur in counterclockwise order (c lies to the left of the directed line defined by points a and b).
  • Returns a negative value if they occur in clockwise order (c lies to the right of the directed line ab).
  • Returns zero if they are collinear.

The result is also an approximation of twice the signed area of the triangle defined by the three points.

incircle(ax,ay, bx,by, cx,cy, dx,dy)

  • Returns a positive value if the point d lies outside the circle passing through a, b, and c.
  • Returns a negative value if it lies inside.
  • Returns zero if the four points are cocircular.

The points a, b, and c must be in counterclockwise order, or the sign of the result will be reversed.

orient3d(ax,ay,az, bx,by,bz, cx,cy,cz, dx,dy,dz)

  • Returns a positive value if the point d lies above the plane passing through a, b, and c, meaning that a, b, and c appear in counterclockwise order when viewed from d.
  • Returns a negative value if d lies below the plane.
  • Returns zero if the points are coplanar.

The result is also an approximation of six times the signed volume of the tetrahedron defined by the four points.

insphere(ax,ay,az, bx,by,bz, cx,cy,cz, dx,dy,dz, ex,ey,ez)

  • Returns a positive value if the point e lies outside the sphere passing through a, b, c, and d.
  • Returns a negative value if it lies inside.
  • Returns zero if the five points are cospherical.

The points a, b, c, and d must be ordered so that they have a positive orientation (as defined by orient3d), or the sign of the result will be reversed.

orient2dfast, orient3dfast, incirclefast, inspherefast

Simple, approximate, non-robust versions of predicates above. Use when robustness isn't needed.

Example

import {orient2d} from 'robust-predicates';

const ccw = orient2d(ax, ay, bx, by, cx, cy) > 0;

Install

Install with npm install robust-predicates or yarn add robust-predicates, or use one of the browser builds:

This project is just a port — all the brilliant, hard work was done by Jonathan Richard Shewchuk.

The port was also inspired by Mikola Lysenko's excellent Robust Arithmetic Notes and related projects like robust-orientation and robust-in-sphere.
