wld-bbox

Convert between a Bounding Box and World File given a Raster Size

features

No floating point arithmetic issues thanks to preciso

limitiations

doesn't support skew (rotation around the x or y axis)

install

npm install wld-bbox

usage

forward: World File to Bounding Box

import convert_world_file_to_bbox from "wld-bbox/forward";
// or import { forward as convert_world_file_to_bbox } from "wld-bbox";

const wld = {
  xScale: "2445.9849051249894",
  ySkew: "0",
  xSkew: "0",
  yScale: "-2445.98490512499",
  xOrigin: "7699959.850241235",
  yOrigin: "1323859.6754601842"
};

const size = { height: 475, width: 968 };

const bbox = convert_world_file_to_bbox({ wld, size });
// bbox is a super-precise bounding box in [xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax] format
// where the numbers are represented as strings for extra precision
// because of the limitations of JavaScript floating point numbers
// ex: Number("7698736.8577886725053") results in 7698736.857788673

// turn off high-precision and just use quicker floating point arithmetic
