Hull.js is a JavaScript library that builds concave hull by set of points.

Table of contents

Examples

See live examples here.

Usage

var points = [ [236, 126], [234, 115], [238, 109], [247, 102], ... ];
hull(points, 50); // returns points of the hull (in clockwise order)

Params

  • 1st param - array of coordinates in format: [[x1, y1], [x2, y2], ..., [xn, yn]].
  • 2nd param - concavity. 1 - thin shape. Infinity - convex hull. By default 20.
  • 3rd param - points format. For example: ['.lng', '.lat'] if you have {lng: x, lat: y} points. By default you can use [x, y] points.

How it works

Let's see step by step what happens when you call hull() function:

  1. Hull.js takes your source points of the shape:
  2. Builds convex hull:
  3. After that, the edges flex inward (according to the `concavity` param). For example:
    `concavity = 80`
    `concavity = 40`
    `concavity = 20`

Limitations

This library relies on ES6. The ES6 features used are:

  • new Set(null), Set#add, Set#has.
  • let, const.
  • Math.trunc (if available).

You may use polyfills for Set and compile with babel to continue to support old browsers.

NPM package

Since version 1.0.7 this library is not hosted on npmjs.com. You can still use GitHub URL as a dependency to fetch the latest version, but keep in mind that since version 1.0.11 the library has also been archived on GitHub and there are no plans to maintain it.

Development

npm install     # install dependencies
npm test        # build dist file and run tests
npm run watch   # watch ./src dir and rebuild dist file

TypeScript

You can find TypeScript type definitions in src folder.

To-do

  • Think about polygons with holes.
  • Think about automatic concavity adjustment based on density.
