The geo-buffer crate provides methods to buffer (to enlarge or reduce) certain
primitive geometric types in the [GeoRust] ecosystem via a straight skeleton.
This crate can handle simple polygons properly as well as non-convex polygons, (valid) sets of polygons, and polygons with one or more holes. Note that each method assumes valid primitives as a parameter, but Polygon/MultiPolygon modules do not enforce this validity automatically nor does this crate. (See more details on 'Validity' in Polygon/MultiPolygon and [OGC standards].)
This crate use a [straight skeleton] to buffer (multi-)polygons. You can also compute a straight skeleton separately by proper methods.
For now, the only viable geometric primitives are Polygon and MultiPolygon (the rest of the primitives will be added as well).
The buffer_polygon() function (resp. buffer_multi_polygon() function) produces a MultiPolygon after applying
an buffer operation to the given Polygon (resp. MultiPolygon). The absolute value of the argument passed with
determines the distance between each edge of the result multi-polygon and the original input. The sign determines the orientation
where the result expands. Positive values mean it goes outward -- that is, it expands, -- and negative values mean goes inward
-- it deflates --.
Each code snippets below is a brief guide to use this crate. Click 'Result' to expand the visualized result. (The red polygon designates the input, and the orange one designates the results.)
```rust use geobuffer::bufferpolygon; use geo::{Polygon, MultiPolygon, LineString};
let p1 = Polygon::new( LineString::from(vec![(0., 0.), (1., 0.), (1., 1.), (0., 1.)]), vec![], ); let p2: MultiPolygon = buffer_polygon(&p1, -0.2);
let expectedexterior = LineString::from(vec![(0.2, 0.2), (0.8, 0.2), (0.8, 0.8), (0.2, 0.8), (0.2, 0.2)]); asserteq!(&expected_exterior, p2.0[0].exterior())
```
