GeoJsonCircleToPolygon

GeoJsonCircleToPolygon is a library to generate GeoJSON representations of circles to polygon and a fork of https://github.com/gabzim/circle-to-polygon ported to C#. Special thanks to Gabriel Zimmermann, Johannes Jarbratt and Jan Žák for the original work.

Basic usage

public void Test()
{
    // For decimals:
    var coordinatesDecimal = new decimal[] { 173.283966m, -41.270634m };
    var resultDecimal = CircleToPolygonHelperDecimal.GetPolygonFromCircle(coordinatesDecimal, 200000, 32);
    // For usage in the GeoJSON format.
    var featureCollectionDecimal = new GeoJsonFeatureCollectionDecimal();
    featureCollectionDecimal.AddCoordinates(resultDecimal);
    var geoJsonDecimal = featureCollectionDecimal.ToString();
    // -----------------------------------------------------------
    // For doubles:
    var coordinatesDouble = new double[] { 173.283966m, -41.270634m };
    var resultDouble = CircleToPolygonHelperDouble.GetPolygonFromCircle(coordinatesDouble, 200000, 32);
    // For usage in the GeoJSON format.
    var featureCollectionDouble = new GeoJsonFeatureCollectionDouble();
    featureCollectionDouble.AddCoordinates(resultDouble);
    var geoJsonDouble = featureCollectionDouble.ToString();
}

Parameters

• center: The center coordinates: Array of length 2 or 3 (Required)
  • First element: Longitude (Required)
  • Second element: Latitude (Required)
  • Third element: Altitude (Ignored)
• radiusInMeters: Radius in meters (Required)
• numberOfEdges: The number of edges (Defaults to 32)
• bearing: How many degrees the circle should be rotated which is most noticeable for "circles" with few edges (Defaults to 0)
• direction: The direction of the circle (1 means right-hand-rule, -1 is opposite) (Defaults to 1)
• earthRadius: The earth radius (Defaults to 6378137)

Disclaimers

• A circle whose edge cross longitude edges (-180 or 180) or a latitude edge (-90 or 90) will contain coordinate points that are outside the standardized coordinates (eg: [182, 23]). This is because there are two ways to represent a line going from [179, x] to [181, y]. One way is simply writing it as [[179, x], [182, y]] while the other is to write it as a multi-polygon. There is a plan to support multi-polygons but it has not yet been implemented.
