Package `orb` defines a set of types for working with 2d geo and planar/projected geometric data in Golang.
|
|
There are a set of sub-packages that use these types to do interesting things.
|
|
They each provide their own README with extra info.
|
|
|
|
## Interesting features
|
|
|
|
- **Simple types** - allow for natural operations using the `make`, `append`, `len`, `[s:e]` builtins.
|
|
- **GeoJSON** - support as part of the [`geojson`](geojson) sub-package.
|
|
- **Mapbox Vector Tile** - encoding and decoding as part of the [`encoding/mvt`](encoding/mvt) sub-package.
|
|
- **Direct to type from DB query results** - by scanning WKB data directly into types.
|
|
- **Rich set of sub-packages** - including [`clipping`](clip), [`simplifing`](simplify), [`quadtree`](quadtree) and more.
|
|
|
|
## Type definitions
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
type Point [2]float64
|
|
type MultiPoint []Point
|
|
|
|
type LineString []Point
|
|
type MultiLineString []LineString
|
|
|
|
type Ring LineString
|
|
type Polygon []Ring
|
|
type MultiPolygon []Polygon
|
|
|
|
type Collection []Geometry
|
|
|
|
type Bound struct { Min, Max Point }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Defining the types as slices allows them to be accessed in an idiomatic way
|
|
using Go's built-in functions such at `make`, `append`, `len`
|
|
and with slice notation like `[s:e]`. For example:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
ls := make(orb.LineString, 0, 100)
|
|
ls = append(ls, orb.Point{1, 1})
|
|
point := ls[0]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Shared `Geometry` interface
|
|
|
|
All of the base types implement the `orb.Geometry` interface defined as:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
type Geometry interface {
|
|
GeoJSONType() string
|
|
Dimensions() int // e.g. 0d, 1d, 2d
|
|
Bound() Bound
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This interface is accepted by functions in the sub-packages which then act on the
|
|
base types correctly. For example:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
l := clip.Geometry(bound, geom)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
will use the appropriate clipping algorithm depending on if the input is 1d or 2d,
|
|
e.g. a `orb.LineString` or a `orb.Polygon`.
|
|
|
|
Only a few methods are defined directly on these type, for example `Clone`, `Equal`, `GeoJSONType`.
|
|
Other operation that depend on geo vs. planar contexts are defined in the respective sub-package.
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
- Computing the geo distance between two point:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
p1 := orb.Point{-72.796408, -45.407131}
|
|
p2 := orb.Point{-72.688541, -45.384987}
|
|
|
|
geo.Distance(p1, p2)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Compute the planar area and centroid of a polygon:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
poly := orb.Polygon{...}
|
|
centroid, area := planar.CentroidArea(poly)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## GeoJSON
|
|
|
|
The [geojson](geojson) sub-package implements Marshalling and Unmarshalling of GeoJSON data.
|
|
Features are defined as:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
type Feature struct {
|
|
ID interface{} `json:"id,omitempty"`
|
|
Type string `json:"type"`
|
|
Geometry orb.Geometry `json:"geometry"`
|
|
Properties Properties `json:"properties"`
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Defining the geometry as an `orb.Geometry` interface along with sub-package functions
|
|
accepting geometries allows them to work together to create easy to follow code.
|
|
For example, clipping all the geometries in a collection:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
fc, err := geojson.UnmarshalFeatureCollection(data)
|
|
for _, f := range fc {
|
|
f.Geometry = clip.Geometry(bound, f.Geometry)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The library supports third party "encoding/json" replacements
|
|
such [github.com/json-iterator/go](https://github.com/json-iterator/go).
|
|
See the [geojson](geojson) readme for more details.
|
|
|
|
The types also support BSON so they can be used directly when working with MongoDB.
|
|
|
|
## Mapbox Vector Tiles
|
|
|
|
The [encoding/mvt](encoding/mvt) sub-package implements Marshalling and
|
|
Unmarshalling [MVT](https://www.mapbox.com/vector-tiles/) data.
|
|
This package uses sets of `geojson.FeatureCollection` to define the layers,
|
|
keyed by the layer name. For example:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
collections := map[string]*geojson.FeatureCollection{}
|
|
|
|
// Convert to a layers object and project to tile coordinates.
|
|
layers := mvt.NewLayers(collections)
|
|
layers.ProjectToTile(maptile.New(x, y, z))
|
|
|
|
// In order to be used as source for MapboxGL geometries need to be clipped
|
|
// to max allowed extent. (uncomment next line)
|
|
// layers.Clip(mvt.MapboxGLDefaultExtentBound)
|
|
|
|
// Simplify the geometry now that it's in tile coordinate space.
|
|
layers.Simplify(simplify.DouglasPeucker(1.0))
|
|
|
|
// Depending on use-case remove empty geometry, those too small to be
|
|
// represented in this tile space.
|
|
// In this case lines shorter than 1, and areas smaller than 2.
|
|
layers.RemoveEmpty(1.0, 2.0)
|
|
|
|
// encoding using the Mapbox Vector Tile protobuf encoding.
|
|
data, err := mvt.Marshal(layers) // this data is NOT gzipped.
|
|
|
|
// Sometimes MVT data is stored and transfered gzip compressed. In that case:
|
|
data, err := mvt.MarshalGzipped(layers)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Decoding WKB/EWKB from a database query
|
|
|
|
Geometries are usually returned from databases in WKB or EWKB format. The [encoding/ewkb](encoding/ewkb)
|
|
sub-package offers helpers to "scan" the data into the base types directly.
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
db.Exec(
|
|
"INSERT INTO postgis_table (point_column) VALUES (ST_GeomFromEWKB(?))",
|
|
ewkb.Value(orb.Point{1, 2}, 4326),
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
row := db.QueryRow("SELECT ST_AsBinary(point_column) FROM postgis_table")
|
|
|
|
var p orb.Point
|
|
err := row.Scan(ewkb.Scanner(&p))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more information see the readme in the [encoding/ewkb](encoding/ewkb) package.
