## README

<!-- Generated by documentation.js. Update this documentation by updating the source code. -->

## transformTranslate

Moves any geojson Feature or Geometry of a specified distance along a Rhumb Line
on the provided direction angle.

Note that this moves the points of your shape individually and can therefore change
the overall shape. How noticable this is depends on the distance and the used projection.

### Parameters

*   `geojson` **([GeoJSON][1] | [GeometryCollection][2])** object to be translated
*   `distance` **[number][3]** length of the motion; negative values determine motion in opposite direction
*   `direction` **[number][3]** of the motion; angle from North in decimal degrees, positive clockwise
*   `options` **[Object][4]** Optional parameters (optional, default `{}`)

    *   `options.units` **Units** in which `distance` will be expressed; Supports all valid Turf [Units][5] (optional, default `'kilometers'`)
    *   `options.zTranslation` **[number][3]** length of the vertical motion, same unit of distance (optional, default `0`)
    *   `options.mutate` **[boolean][6]** allows GeoJSON input to be mutated (significant performance increase if true) (optional, default `false`)

### Examples

```javascript
var poly = turf.polygon([[[0,29],[3.5,29],[2.5,32],[0,29]]]);
var translatedPoly = turf.transformTranslate(poly, 100, 35);

//addToMap
var addToMap = [poly, translatedPoly];
translatedPoly.properties = {stroke: '#F00', 'stroke-width': 4};
```

Returns **([GeoJSON][1] | [GeometryCollection][2])** the translated GeoJSON object
