@turf/midpoint
Advanced tools
@turf/midpoint is a module within the Turf.js library that provides geospatial analysis tools. Specifically, @turf/midpoint calculates the geographical midpoint between two points. This can be useful in various applications such as mapping, navigation, and geographic data analysis.
Calculate Midpoint
This feature calculates the geographical midpoint between two points. The code sample demonstrates how to use the @turf/midpoint module to find the midpoint between two given coordinates.
const turf = require('@turf/turf');
const point1 = turf.point([-75.343, 39.984]);
const point2 = turf.point([-75.534, 39.123]);
const midpoint = turf.midpoint(point1, point2);
console.log(midpoint);Geolib is a library for geospatial calculations. It provides various functions for distance, area, and other geographic calculations. Compared to @turf/midpoint, Geolib offers a broader range of geospatial functions but may not be as specialized in geospatial analysis as the Turf.js library.
Geodesy is a library for geodesic calculations. It includes functions for calculating distances, bearings, and midpoints between geographic coordinates. While it offers similar functionality to @turf/midpoint, it focuses more on geodesic calculations and less on broader geospatial analysis.
Takes two points and returns a point midway between them. The midpoint is calculated geodesically, meaning the curvature of the earth is taken into account.
Parameters
Examples
var pt1 = {
"type": "Feature",
"properties": {},
"geometry": {
"type": "Point",
"coordinates": [144.834823, -37.771257]
}
};
var pt2 = {
"type": "Feature",
"properties": {},
"geometry": {
"type": "Point",
"coordinates": [145.14244, -37.830937]
}
};
var midpoint = turf.midpoint(pt1, pt2);
//addToMap
midpoint.properties['marker-color'] = '#f00';
var addToMap = [pt1, pt2, midpoint];
Returns Feature<Point> a point midway between pt1 and pt2
