Geospatial Primitives, Algorithms, and Utilities

Chat or ask questions on Discord

The geo crate provides geospatial primitive types such as Point, LineString, and Polygon, and provides algorithms and operations such as:

• Area and centroid calculation
• Simplification and convex hull operations
• Euclidean and Haversine distance measurement
• Intersection checks
• Affine transforms such as rotation and translation
• All DE-9IM spatial predicates such as contains, crosses, and touches.

Please refer to the documentation for a complete list.

The primitive types also provide the basis for other functionality in the Geo ecosystem, including:

• Coordinate transformation and projection
• Serialization to and from GeoJSON and WKT
• Geocoding
• Working with GPS data

Example

// primitives
use geo::{line_string, polygon};

// algorithms
use geo::ConvexHull;

// An L shape
let poly = polygon![
    (x: 0.0, y: 0.0),
    (x: 4.0, y: 0.0),
    (x: 4.0, y: 1.0),
    (x: 1.0, y: 1.0),
    (x: 1.0, y: 4.0),
    (x: 0.0, y: 4.0),
    (x: 0.0, y: 0.0),
];

// Calculate the polygon's convex hull
let hull = poly.convex_hull();

assert_eq!(
    hull.exterior(),
    &line_string![
        (x: 4.0, y: 0.0),
        (x: 4.0, y: 1.0),
        (x: 1.0, y: 4.0),
        (x: 0.0, y: 4.0),
        (x: 0.0, y: 0.0),
        (x: 4.0, y: 0.0),
    ]
);
