A collection of functions calculating different properties of [Geo](https://github.com/felt/geo/tree/master) structs.

Currently, this project supports only the following geometries:

- Point
- PointM
- PointZ
- PointZM
- LineString
- LineStringZ (partial support)
- LineStringZM (partial support)
- Polygon

Currently, the following properties can be calculated for the supported [Geo](https://github.com/felt/geo/tree/master) structs:

- Area
- Bounding box
- Centroid
- Distance (between two coordinate pairs or Geo.Point(M) structs)
- Extent
- Length/Perimeter

For each geometry, only the properties that have meaning for the given geometry are implemented. This results in the following implementation table, where ✅ means supported, and ❌ means unsupported property, while 🔶 means incomplete or in progress support for a property:

| Geometry     | Area | Bounding box | Centroid | Distance | Extent | Length | Perimeter |
| ----------   | :--: | :----------: | :------: | :------: | :----: | :----: | :-------: |
| Point        | ❌   | ✅          | ✅       | ✅      | ❌     | ❌    | ❌        |
| PointM       | ❌   | ✅          | ✅       | ✅      | ❌     | ❌    | ❌        |
| PointZ       | ❌   | ✅          | ✅       | ✅      | ❌     | ❌    | ❌        |
| PointZM      | ❌   | ✅          | ✅       | ✅      | ❌     | ❌    | ❌        |
| LineString   | ❌   | ✅          | ✅       | ❌      | ✅     | ✅    | ❌        |
| LineStringZ  | ❌   | 🔶          | ✅       | ❌      | ✅     | ✅    | ❌        |
| LineStringZM | ❌   | 🔶          | ✅       | ❌      | ✅     | ✅    | ❌        |
| Polygon      | ✅   | ✅          | ✅       | ❌      | ✅     | ❌    | ✅        |

**IMPORTANT**: All computations that return Geo structs transfer the SRID of the input struct to the output struct. Only projected coordinate systems are supported as the algorithms implemented here do not take curved surfaces and angular units into account, which would be necessary for the handling of geographic coordinate systems.

**IMPORTANT**: Currently only simple polygons are supported for the area calculations.

_Note_: The Length/Perimeter depends on the type of geometry. Length is supported for lines, Perimeter is for Polygons. Under the hood, they use the same calculation.

_Note_: If you would like to make in-memory calculations to determine the relationship between two Geo structs, please check out [topo](https://github.com/pkinney/topo).

```elixir
defp deps do
  [
    {:geomeasure, "~> 1.4.0"}
  ]
end
```
## Examples

While each function can be called through their module, such as `GeoMeasure.Area.calculate` or `GeoMeasure.Perimeter.calculate`, it is encouraged to use delegates from the main `GeoMeasure` module, enabling shortened calls, such as `GeoMeasure.area` or `GeoMeasure.perimeter`. Thus, the following examples will only show the shorter, more convenient calls through `GeoMeasure`.

### Area

```elixir
iex(1)> GeoMeasure.area(%Geo.Polygon{coordinates: [[{0, 0}, {0, 2}, {2, 2}, {2, 0}, {0, 0}]]})
4.0
```

### Bounding Box

```elixir
iex(1)> GeoMeasure.bbox(%Geo.Point{coordinates: {1, 2}})
%Geo.Point{coordinates: {1, 2}, srid: nil, properties: %{}}

iex(2)> GeoMeasure.bbox(%Geo.PointM{coordinates: {1, 2, 5}})
%Geo.Point{coordinates: {1, 2}, srid: nil, properties: %{}}

iex(3)> GeoMeasure.bbox(%Geo.PointZ{coordinates: {1, 2, 5}})
%Geo.PointZ{coordinates: {1, 2, 5}, srid: nil, properties: %{}}

iex(4)> GeoMeasure.bbox(%Geo.PointZM{coordinates: {1, 2, 5, 8}})
%Geo.PointZ{coordinates: {1, 2, 5}, srid: nil, properties: %{}}

iex(5)> GeoMeasure.bbox(%Geo.LineString{coordinates: [{1, 2}, {3, 4}]})
%Geo.Polygon{
  coordinates: [[{1, 2}, {1, 4}, {3, 4}, {3, 2}, {1, 2}]],
  srid: nil,
  properties: %{}
}

iex(6)> GeoMeasure.bbox(%Geo.Polygon{coordinates: [[{0, 0}, {0, 2}, {2, 2}, {2, 0}, {0, 0}]]})
%Geo.Polygon{
  coordinates: [[{0, 0}, {0, 2}, {2, 2}, {2, 0}, {0, 0}]],
  srid: nil,
  properties: %{}
}
```

%Geo.Point{coordinates: {1, 2}, srid: nil, properties: %{}}
