random-points-on-polygon

Create n number of random points inside a polygon with TurfJS!

Install

npm install random-points-on-polygon

Usage

randomPointsOnPolygon(number, polygon, [properties], [fc])

Params

• number: Integer - the number of random points generated
• polygon: Feature<(Polygon|MutiPolygon)> - boundary within points are created
• properties: Object [properties={}] - properties object assigned to each random point feature
• fc: Boolean [fc=false] - Default returns an array of point features. When true, returns a feature collection of points

Returns

• points: Default Array Feature<(Point)> - when fc is set to true it returns a FeatureCollection<(Points)>

Example

var randomPointsOnPolygon = require('random-points-on-polygon');
var turf = require('turf');

var numberOfPoints = 100;
var polygon = turf.random('polygon').features[0];

var points = randomPointsOnPolygon(numberOfPoints, polygon);
