geo

Geospatial Primitives, Algorithms, and Utilities

The geo crate provides geospatial primitive types such as Point, LineString, and Polygon, and provides algorithms and operations such as:

• Area and centroid calculation
• Simplification and convex hull operations
• Euclidean and Haversine distance measurement
• Intersection checks
• Affine transforms such as rotation and translation.

Please refer to the documentation for a complete list.

The primitive types also provide the basis for other functionality in the Geo ecosystem, including:

• Coordinate transformation and projection
• Serialization to and from GeoJSON and WKT
• Geocoding
• Working with GPS data

Example

use geo::{line_string, polygon};
use geo::convex_hull::ConvexHull;

// An L shape
let poly = polygon![
    (x: 0.0, y: 0.0),
    (x: 4.0, y: 0.0),
    (x: 4.0, y: 1.0),
    (x: 1.0, y: 1.0),
    (x: 1.0, y: 4.0),
    (x: 0.0, y: 4.0),
    (x: 0.0, y: 0.0),
];

// Calculate the polygon's convex hull
let hull = poly.convex_hull();

assert_eq!(hull.exterior(), line_string![
    (x: 0.0, y: 0.0),
    (x: 0.0, y: 4.0),
    (x: 1.0, y: 4.0),
    (x: 4.0, y: 1.0),
    (x: 4.0, y: 0.0),
    (x: 0.0, y: 0.0),
]);
