Package Exports

@turf/idw

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@turf/idw) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

@turf/idw

index

Takes a FeatureCollection of points with known value, a power parameter, a cell depth, a unit of measurement and returns a FeatureCollection of polygons in a square-grid with an interpolated value property "IDW" for each grid cell. It finds application when in need of creating a continuous surface (i.e. rainfall, temperature, chemical dispersion surface...) from a set of spatially scattered points.

Parameters

controlPoints FeatureCollection<Point> Sampled points with known value
valueField String GeoJSON field containing the known value to interpolate on
b Number Exponent regulating the distance-decay weighting
cellWidth Number The distance across each cell
units String Units to use for cellWidth ('miles' or 'kilometers')

Returns FeatureCollection<Polygon> grid A grid of polygons with a property field "IDW"
