@turf/square-grid
Advanced tools
@turf/square-grid is a module from the Turf.js library that allows you to create a grid of squares within a bounding box. This can be useful for various geospatial analyses, such as dividing a region into smaller areas for detailed study or visualization.
Create a square grid
This feature allows you to create a grid of squares within a specified bounding box. The `bbox` parameter defines the bounding box, `cellSide` specifies the side length of each square, and `options` can include units of measurement.
const turf = require('@turf/turf');
const bbox = [-95, 30, -85, 40];
const cellSide = 50;
const options = { units: 'miles' };
const squareGrid = turf.squareGrid(bbox, cellSide, options);
console.log(squareGrid);
Leaflet is a popular open-source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps. While it does not specifically create square grids, it offers extensive functionalities for creating and manipulating map layers, including grid layers.
D3-geo is a module of D3.js that provides geographic projections, shapes, and utilities. It can be used to create various types of geographic visualizations, including grids, but requires more manual setup compared to @turf/square-grid.
GeoTIFF is a library for reading and writing GeoTIFF files. While it does not create square grids, it can be used to manipulate geospatial raster data, which can be divided into grids for analysis.
Takes a bounding box and a cell depth and returns a set of square polygons in a grid.
Parameters
bbox
Array<number> extent in [minX, minY, maxX, maxY] ordercellSize
number width of each cellunits
[string] used in calculating cellSize, can be degrees, radians, miles, or kilometers (optional, default kilometers
)Examples
var bbox = [-96,31,-84,40];
var cellSize = 10;
var units = 'miles';
var squareGrid = turf.squareGrid(bbox, cellSize, units);
//=squareGrid
Returns FeatureCollection<Polygon> grid a grid of polygons
