2D Euclidean geometry classes, utilities, and drawing tools

Euclid.ts

Euclid.ts is a Typescript library for 2D geometry. It contains classes for elements like points, lines, circles, and polygons, intersection detection, as well as SVG and Canvas drawing tools. It was developed for Mathigon.org, an award-winning mathematics education project.

API

All class instances are immutable: you need to create new copies rather than modifying their properties. This is mainly to facilitate fast change detection on downstream libraries.

• Points: Point(x: number, y: number)

• Lines: Line(p1: Point, p2: Point), Segment(p1: Point, p2: Point), Ray(p1: Point, p2: Point)

• Polygons: Polygon(...points: Point[]), Polyline(...points: Point[])

• Rectangles: Rectangle(p: Point, w: number, h: number)

• Circles: Circle(c: Point, r: number)

• Ellipses: Ellipse(c: Point, a: number, b: number)

• Arcs: Arc((c: Point, start: Point, angle: number)), Sector((c: Point, start: Point, angle: number))

• Angle: Angle(a: Point, b: Point, c: Point)

• Bounds: Bounds(xMin: number, xMax: number, yMin: number, yMax: number)

• Intersections: intsersection(...obj: GeoShape[])

• Drawing: drawSVG(obj: GeoElement, options: SVGDrawingOptions), drawCanvas(ctx: CanvasRenderingContext2D, obj: GeoElement, options: CanvasDrawingOptions)

Usage

First, install Euclid.ts from NPM using

npm install @mathigon/euclid

Now, simply import all functions and classes you need, using

import {Point, Line} from '@mathigon/euclid'
