bentley-ottmann-intersections

A small module using the Bentley-Ottmann algorithm to detection self-intersections

Install

npm install bentley-ottmann-intersections

Documentation

Valid inputs: Geojson Polygon, MultiPolygon

    const findIntersections = require('bentley-ottmann-intersections')

    const box = {type: 'Polygon', coordinates: [[[0, 0], [1, 0], [1, 1], [0, 1], [0, 0]]]}
    findIntersections(box)
    // returns array os intersection points
