@turf/boolean-clockwise

@turf/boolean-clockwise

booleanClockwise

Takes a ring and return true or false whether or not the ring is clockwise or counter-clockwise.

Parameters

• line (Geometry | Feature<LineString> | Array<Array<number>>) to be evaluated

Examples

var clockwiseRing = turf.lineString([[0,0],[1,1],[1,0],[0,0]]);
var counterClockwiseRing = turf.lineString([[0,0],[1,0],[1,1],[0,0]]);

turf.booleanClockwise(clockwiseRing)
//=true
turf.booleanClockwise(counterClockwiseRing)
//=false

Returns Boolean true/false

🚀 New Modules

• @turf/clean-coords Removes redundant coordinates from any GeoJSON Geometry. (PR https://github.com/Turfjs/turf/pull/875 - Author @stebogit)
• @turf/interpolate Takes a set of points and estimates their 'property' values on a grid using the Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) method.. (PR https://github.com/Turfjs/turf/pull/832 - Author @stebogit)
• @turf/clusters-dbscan Takes a set of Points and partition them into clusters according to DBSCAN's data clustering algorithm. (PR https://github.com/Turfjs/turf/pull/812 and https://github.com/Turfjs/turf/pull/851 - Author @DenisCarriere)

  special mention to this incredibly instructive and fun interactive map by @DenisCarriere 😎👏

• @turf/clusters Provides getCluster, clusterEach, and clusterReduce functions. (PR https://github.com/Turfjs/turf/pull/847 - Author @DenisCarriere)
• @turf/boolean-point-on-line Returns true if a point is on a line. Accepts a optional parameter to ignore the start and end vertices of the linestring. (PR https://github.com/Turfjs/turf/pull/858 - Author @rowanwins)
• @turf/boolean-overlap Takes two features and returns true or false whether or not they overlap, i.e. whether any pair of edges on the two polygons intersect. If there are any edge intersections, the polygons overlap. (PR https://github.com/Turfjs/turf/pull/856 and https://github.com/Turfjs/turf/pull/868 - Author @stebogit @tcql)
• @turf/boolean-equal Determine whether two geometries of the same type have identical X,Y coordinate values. (PR https://github.com/Turfjs/turf/pull/869 - Author @stebogit @tcql)
