geo-buffer

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 uses 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).

You can choose a style of convex corners with either options; mitter-joined or round-joined. (See more details on the document.)

Quick Guide

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 direction where the result expands. Positive values mean it goes outward &#8212 that is, it inflates, &#8212 and negative values mean goes inward &#8212 it deflates &#8212.

Example

use geo_buffer::buffer_polygon;
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 expected_exterior = LineString::from(vec![(0.2, 0.2), (0.8, 0.2), (0.8, 0.8), (0.2, 0.8), (0.2, 0.2)]);
assert_eq!(&expected_exterior, p2.0[0].exterior())
