Polygon diameter module

[mbullington]

I was looking for a way to calculate the polygon diameter of a Feature, and couldn't find a good solution, so I made my own and thought it would be a good addition to the TURF.js library.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/turf-diameter

• Is this something that TURF would want in the project?
• What is the state of the project, what would I need to do to make it fit the TURF codebase?

Hi @mbullington

This looks like a pretty interesting little module, that said I'm not sure why people would use this, are there any particular applications that come to mind?

At the moment things are going pretty slow as there has been a bit of a rejig happening on the v7 branch which you can follow the progress of over in #1432. If you want to create a fork at that branch and create your module in there go for it, otherwise feel free to leave yours and stand alone and when I get a chance I'll create a little wrapper in turf which simply pulls in your module.

Cheers

@rowanwins Sure, I can go ahead and try to make it a turf module in v7.

At least for our usecase, I made it with line-of-sight calculations in mind, which is somewhat rare but useful for UAVs and other airspace calculations.

Hi @mbullington. Are you still interested in adding this as a Turf module?
