Geography and geometry

General utilities and types that relate to working with and manipulating geographic information or geometries.

LngLat

A LngLat object represents a given longitude and latitude coordinate, measured in degrees. These coordinates are based on the WGS84 (EPSG:4326) standard.

vietmap GL uses longitude, latitude coordinate order (as opposed to latitude, longitude) to match the GeoJSON specification.

Note that any vietmap GL method that accepts a LngLat object as an argument or option can also accept an Array of two numbers and will perform an implicit conversion. This flexible type is documented as LngLatLike.

new LngLat(lng: number, lat: number)

Parameters

  • lng(number) Longitude, measured in degrees.

  • lat(number) Latitude, measured in degrees.

Example

var ll = new vietmapgl.LngLat(-123.9749, 40.7736);
ll.lng; // = -123.9749

Static Members

convert(input)

Converts an array of two numbers or an object with lng and lat or lon and lat properties to a LngLat object.

If a LngLat object is passed in, the function returns it unchanged.

Parameters

input(LngLatLike)An array of two numbers or object to convert, or a LngLat object to return.

Returns

LngLat: A new LngLat object, if a conversion occurred, or the original LngLat object.

Example

var arr = [-73.9749, 40.7736];
var ll = vietmapgl.LngLat.convert(arr);
ll;   // = LngLat {lng: -73.9749, lat: 40.7736}

Instance Members

distanceTo(lngLat)

LngLatBounds

A LngLatBounds object represents a geographical bounding box, defined by its southwest and northeast points in longitude and latitude.

If no arguments are provided to the constructor, a null bounding box is created.

Note that any Mapbox GL method that accepts a LngLatBounds object as an argument or option can also accept an Array of two LngLatLike constructs and will perform an implicit conversion. This flexible type is documented as LngLatBoundsLike.

MercatorCoordinate

A MercatorCoordinate object represents a projected three dimensional position.

MercatorCoordinate uses the web mercator projection (EPSG:3857) with slightly different units:

  • the size of 1 unit is the width of the projected world instead of the "mercator meter"
  • the origin of the coordinate space is at the north-west corner instead of the middle

For example, MercatorCoordinate(0, 0, 0) is the north-west corner of the mercator world and MercatorCoordinate(1, 1, 0) is the south-east corner. If you are familiar with vector tiles it may be helpful to think of the coordinate space as the 0/0/0 tile with an extent of 1.

The z dimension of MercatorCoordinate is conformal. A cube in the mercator coordinate space would be rendered as a cube.

new MercatorCoordinate(x: number, y: number, z: number)

Parameters

  • x(number)The x component of the position.
  • y(number)The y component of the position.
  • z(number)(default 0)The z component of the position.

Example

var nullIsland = new vietmapgl.MercatorCoordinate(0.5, 0.5, 0);

Static Members

fromLngLat(lngLatLike, altitude)

Project a LngLat to a MercatorCoordinate.

Parameters

  • lngLatLike(LngLatLike)The location to project.

  • altitude(number)(default 0)The altitude in meters of the position.

Returns

MercatorCoordinate: The projected mercator coordinate.

Example

var coord = vietmapgl.MercatorCoordinate.fromLngLat({ lng: 0, lat: 0}, 0);
coord; // MercatorCoordinate(0.5, 0.5, 0)

Instance Members

meterInMercatorCoordinateUnits()

Returns the distance of 1 meter in MercatorCoordinate units at this latitude.

For coordinates in real world units using meters, this naturally provides the scale to transform into MercatorCoordinates.

Returns

number: Distance of 1 meter in MercatorCoordinate units.

toAltitude()

Returns the altitude in meters of the coordinate.

Returns

number: The altitude in meters.

Example

var coord = new vietmapgl.MercatorCoordinate(0, 0, 0.02);
coord.toAltitude(); // 6914.281956295339

toLngLat()

Returns the LngLat for the coordinate.

Returns

LngLat: The LngLat object.

Example

var coord = new vietmapgl.MercatorCoordinate(0.5, 0.5, 0);
var lngLat = coord.toLngLat(); // LngLat(0, 0)

EdgeInsets

An EdgeInset object represents screen space padding applied to the edges of the viewport. This shifts the apprent center or the vanishing point of the map. This is useful for adding floating UI elements on top of the map and having the vanishing point shift as UI elements resize.

new EdgeInsets(top: number, bottom: number, left: number, right: number)

Parameters

  • top(number)(default 0)
  • bottom(number)(default 0)
  • left(number)(default 0)
  • right(number)(default 0)

Static Members

getCenter(width, height)

Utility method that computes the new apprent center or vanishing point after applying insets. This is in pixels and with the top left being (0.0) and +y being downwards.

Parameters

  • width(number)the width
  • height(number)the height

Returns

Point: the point

interpolate(start, target, t)

Interpolates the inset in-place. This maintains the current inset value for any inset not present in target.

Parameters

  • start((PaddingOptions | EdgeInsets))interpolation start

  • target(PaddingOptions)interpolation target

  • t(number)interpolation step/weight

Returns

EdgeInsets: the insets

toJSON()

Returns the current state as json, useful when you want to have a read-only representation of the inset.
