lineChunk

Divides a LineString into chunks of a specified length. If the line is shorter than the segment length then the original line is returned.

Parameters

• geojson (FeatureCollection | Geometry | Feature<(LineString | MultiLineString)>) the lines to split

• segmentLength number how long to make each segment

• options Object Optional parameters (optional, default {})

  • options.units Units Supports all valid Turf Units (optional, default 'kilometers')
  • options.reverse boolean reverses coordinates to start the first chunked segment at the end (optional, default false)

Examples

var line = turf.lineString([[-95, 40], [-93, 45], [-85, 50]]);

var chunk = turf.lineChunk(line, 15, {units: 'miles'});

//addToMap
var addToMap = [chunk];

Returns FeatureCollection<LineString> collection of line segments
