Converts LineString, MultiLineString, and LinearRing geometries into a MultiLineString by cutting them into parts no longer than the given distance along their length. All other geometry types will be converted to an empty MultiLineString.
| Usage | Returns | Point.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. |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// Notice: the cutLines geometry method applies only to LineString,
// MultiLineString, and LinearRing geometries. All other geometry types result
// in an empty MultiLineString.
