What is @turf/boolean-disjoint?
@turf/boolean-disjoint is a module from the Turf.js library that provides geospatial analysis tools. This specific module is used to determine if two geometries are disjoint, meaning they do not share any points in common.
What are @turf/boolean-disjoint's main functionalities?
Check if two geometries are disjoint
This feature allows you to check if two geometries (e.g., points, lines, polygons) do not share any points in common. In this example, two points are checked to see if they are disjoint.
const turf = require('@turf/turf');
const booleanDisjoint = require('@turf/boolean-disjoint');
const point1 = turf.point([2, 2]);
const point2 = turf.point([4, 4]);
const disjoint = booleanDisjoint(point1, point2);
console.log(disjoint); // true
Check if a polygon and a line are disjoint
This feature allows you to check if a polygon and a line are disjoint. In this example, a polygon and a line are checked to see if they do not share any points in common.
const turf = require('@turf/turf');
const booleanDisjoint = require('@turf/boolean-disjoint');
const polygon = turf.polygon([[
[0, 0], [0, 5], [5, 5], [5, 0], [0, 0]
]]);
const line = turf.lineString([[6, 6], [7, 7]]);
const disjoint = booleanDisjoint(polygon, line);
console.log(disjoint); // true
Other packages similar to @turf/boolean-disjoint
jsts
JSTS is a JavaScript library of spatial predicates and functions for processing geometry. It provides similar functionalities to @turf/boolean-disjoint, such as checking spatial relationships between geometries. However, JSTS is a more comprehensive library that includes a wider range of geometric operations.
geolib
Geolib is a library to provide basic geospatial operations like distance calculation, bounding boxes, and more. While it does not specifically focus on boolean disjoint operations, it offers a variety of geospatial utilities that can be used in conjunction with other libraries to achieve similar results.
@turf/boolean-disjoint
booleanDisjoint
Boolean-disjoint returns (TRUE) if the intersection of the two geometries is an empty set.
Parameters
Examples
var point = turf.point([2, 2]);
var line = turf.lineString([[1, 1], [1, 2], [1, 3], [1, 4]]);
turf.booleanDisjoint(line, point);
Returns boolean true/false
This module is part of the Turfjs project, an open source
module collection dedicated to geographic algorithms. It is maintained in the
Turfjs/turf repository, where you can create
PRs and issues.
Installation
Install this module individually:
