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 🙏

viewbox-query-planner

calculate rectangular bbox regions to query as a viewbox pans across 2d data

If you have a spatial database, you can query rectangular regions by the bboxes emitted from the update() function as a user pans a map. You'll also want to cull the results from old bboxes as keeping old bboxes around that don't intersect the current viewbox slows down the polygon operations.

In the future this module might use polygon clipping routines specific to rectilinear polygon geometry, which might speed things up considerably.

example

var vplan = require('viewbox-query-planner')()
vplan.add([0.5,0.5,1.5,1.5])
vplan.add([0.2,-0.1,1.1,0.6])

var boxes = vplan.update([0,0,1,1])
console.log(boxes) // [ [ 0, 0, 0.2, 1 ], [ 0.2, 0.6, 0.5, 1 ] ]

There is a more involed graphical demo in example/demo.js which you can view here: https://substack.net/demo/viewbox-planner.html

api

var viewboxQueryPlanner = require('viewbox-query-planner')

var vplan = viewboxQueryPlanner()

Create a new viewbox query planner instance vplan.

The planner will maintain a rectilinear polygon that you can grow or shrink with bboxes.

Ususally you will want to vplan.add() the boxes you get back from vplan.update() and cull old boxes that no longer intersect the viewbox.

vplan.add(bbox)

Add a bbox of the form [xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax] to the rectilinear polygon.

vplan.subtract(bbox)

Subtract a bbox of the form [xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax] from the rectilinear polygon.

var boxes = vplan.update(viewbox)

Return an array of bboxes of the form [xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax] that completely cover without overlapping the parts of the viewbox (of the form [xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax]) that are not covered by the internal rectilinear polygon.

install

npm install viewbox-query-planner
