polygon-offset

Polygon offsetting algorithm, aimed for use with leaflet

Usage no npm install needed!

<script type="module">
  import polygonOffset from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/polygon-offset';
</script>

README

Offset npm version CircleCI

Small lib for polygon offsetting(margin/padding). See the example of how it can be used with Leaflet. It handles quite well oddly shaped and concave polygons.

The reason I wrote this is that the only working solution to this problem known to me is Angus Johnson's Clipper library. Library is huge and offsetting in it is subroutine.

This library depends on Martinez polygon clipping algorithm, and combined with it weighs ~14kb.

Install

Node

$ npm install polygon-offset

Browserify

var Offset = require('polygon-offset');

Browser

<script src="path/to/offset.min.js"></script>

Use

// if the first point repeats(for instance GeoJSON) -
// the output will have it as well
var points = [
  [0,0], [0,100],
  [100,100], [100,0], [0,0]
];
var x = -10;

var offset = new Offset();
var margined = offset.data(points).margin(10);
var padding = offset.data(points).padding(10);

// decides from the sign of x: negative for padding
var unknown = offset.data(points).arcSegments(3).offset(x);

// if you want to work with the polyline - margin only
var polyline = offset.data(points).offsetLine(5);

Dependencies
