AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
The
cutLines
method divides LineString, MultiLineString, and LinearRing geometries into smaller segments based on specified distances. -
This method accepts
distances
,maxError
, andproj
as arguments for defining cut lengths, error tolerance, and projection, respectively. -
Geometries other than LineString, MultiLineString, and LinearRing will be transformed into an empty MultiLineString when using
cutLines
. -
Distance measurements for segment cuts are determined by the provided
proj
argument, defaulting to meters if no projection is specified. -
The resulting segments from the
cutLines
operation are returned as a new Geometry object.
Usage | Returns |
---|---|
MultiPoint.cutLines(distances, maxError, proj) | Geometry |
Argument | Type | Details |
---|---|---|
this: geometry | Geometry | Cuts the lines of this geometry. |
distances | List | Distances along each LineString to cut the line into separate pieces, measured in units of the given proj, or meters if proj is unspecified. |
maxError | ErrorMargin, default: null | The maximum amount of error tolerated when performing any necessary reprojection. |
proj | Projection, default: null | Projection of the result and distance measurements, or EPSG:4326 if unspecified. |
