Trying Out Various Turf.js

I've been experimenting with Turf.js 🎉

Turf.js is an open-source geospatial analysis library that can process various location data, such as the center of gravity and distance calculations.

I have written an article on "dayjournal memo," in which I tested more than 50 different functions of Turf.js. I would like to introduce five features that I recommend!

The following is a detailed explanation.

  • Advance Preparation
  • Buffer creation
  • Extracting points contained in polygons
  • Polygon center of gravity acquisition
  • Acquisition of position on a line at a specified distance
  • Obtain self-intersection of polygon

Advance Preparation

Use the built environment to get started on Turf.js easily.

Buffer creation

Create a buffer from points.

src/main.ts 



const point = turf.point([139.770, 35.676]);

map.addSource("FeaturesPoint", {
    type: "geojson",
    data: point
});
map.addLayer({
    id: "FeaturesPoint",
    type: "circle",
    source: "FeaturesPoint",
    layout: {},
    paint: {
        "circle-pitch-alignment": "map",
        "circle-stroke-color": "#1253A4",
        "circle-stroke-width": 5,
        "circle-stroke-opacity": 0.8,
        "circle-color": "#1253A4",
        "circle-radius": 5,
        "circle-opacity": 0.5
    }
});

const buffered = turf.buffer(point, 10, {
    units: "kilometers"
});

map.addSource("PolygonSample", {
    type: "geojson",
    data: buffered
});
map.addLayer({
    id: "PolygonSample",
    type: "fill",
    source: "PolygonSample",
    layout: {},
    paint: {
        "fill-color": "#58BE89",
        "fill-opacity": 0.5
    }
});
map.addLayer({
    id: "PolygonLineSample",
    type: "line",
    source: "PolygonSample",
    layout: {
        "line-join": "round",
        "line-cap": "round"
    },
    paint: {
        "line-color": "#58BE89",
        "line-width": 5,
        "line-opacity": 0.8
    }

Extracting points contained in polygons
