cutPolygonByMercatorBounds

Splits a geospatial polygon at the 180th meridian and the top (latitude=90) and bottom (latitude=-90) edges of the Web Mercator map.

import {cutPolygonByMercatorBounds} from '@math.gl/polygon';

cutPolygonByMercatorBounds([-170, 0, 170, 0, 170, 20, -170, 20], {size: 2});
// returns [
//   [170, 20, 180, 20, 180, 0, 170, 0],
//   [-180, 20, -170, 20, -170, 0, -180, 0]
// ]
]

Usage

cutPolygonByMercatorBounds(positions, holeIndices, [options]);

Arguments:

• positions (Array|TypedArray) - a flat array of the vertex positions that define the polygon's rings. x is longitude in degrees, and y is latitude in degrees.
• holeIndices (Array|TypedArray|null) - the indices in positions where each hole starts. If null, the polygon has no holes.
• options (Object, optional)
  • size (Number) - the number of elements in each vertex. Size 2 will interpret positions as [x0, y0, x1, y1, ...] and size 3 will interpret positions as [x0, y0, z0, x1, y1, z1, ...]. Default 2.
  • normalize (Boolean) - make sure the output longitudes are within [-180, 180]. Default true.
  • maxLatitude (Number) - since latitude=90 projects to infinity in Web Mercator projection, maxLatitude will be used to represent the pole. Default 85.051129 which makes the map square.
  • edgeTypes (Boolean) - if true, returns an additional array for each polygon that describes the nature of each vertex. See "returns" below.

Returns:

An array of polygons. Each polygons is represented by an object with the following fields:

• positions (Array|TypedArray) - a flat array of the vertex positions that define the polygon's rings.
• holeIndices (Array|TypedArray) - the indices in positions where each hole starts. Not present if the polygon has no holes.
• edgeTypes (Array) - describes the nature of each vertex in positions:
  • 0 - the segment connecting this vertex to the next is inside the original polygon
  • 1 - the segment connecting this vertex to the next is on the border of the original polygon
