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

svg-path-to-polygons

Node package that converts path commands for an SVG path to polygonal points.

Features

  • Sparsely represents linear portions of the path by the minimal number of points.
  • Does not skip any imporant features.
  • Uses adaptive subsampling for curves to represent them exactly in the fewest number of points, with an arbitrary tolerance.

Installation

npm install svg-path-to-polygons

Usage

const { pathDataToPolys } = require('../svg-path-to-polygons.js');
let pathData = 'M5,15 c5.5,0 10-4.5 10,-10 h10';
let points = pathDataToPolys(pathData, {tolerance:1, decimals:1});
console.log(points);
/*******************************************************************
[
  [ [5,15],[7,14.8],[10.6,13.3],[13.3,10.6],[14.8,7],[15,5],[25,5] ]
]
********************************************************************/

Note that the output for every path is an array of polygons/polylines (even if there is only one), where each polygon/polyline is an array of points, and where each point is an array of two numbers.

Each polygon/polyline also includes a custom closed property that defines whether the SVG subpath was closed (i.e. ended with a z or Z command).

The optional tolerance option specifies how far (in SVG coordinates) the polygon path may deviate from ideal curves. If not supplied, it defaults to 1.

The optional decimals option controls the precision of values produces for each point. Only non-negative values are currently supported. If unspecified, full precision is used for each number.

TODO (aka Known Limitations)

  • Need to support quadratic Bézier commands.
  • Need to support arc commands.
  • Subsample linear sections if they are within the tolerance.
  • Support negative values for decimals.
