v0.1.0

GeometryOps v0.1.0

Diff since v0.0.1

GeometryOps v0.1.0 is the second release of GeometryOps. Some new APIs and functions have been introduced and performance significantly improved.

New features

• A method for coverage (the area inside a given box which the geometry fills) was added.
• A geometry correction framework with fix and one method, ClosedRing(), for it, was added. Others can be added in future.
• A segmentize method that corresponds to LibGEOS's densify, that upsamples any geometry more complex than a line, was added.

Code changes

• The implementation of reproject has been factored out to an extension on Proj.jl.
  • Provides an error hint if Proj isn't loaded and a user tries to use reproject.
• Degeneracies are accounted for in polygon clipping (1/3 of the Foster extensions).
• ExactPredicates.jl support has been (temporarily) removed in favor of performance. This will be added back later, with the option to opt out of it.
• A basic benchmark suite has been introduced - many of the simpler operations show 10x improvements over LibGEOS.
• Multiple type stability fixes for apply, applyreduce, and other methods. This also improved performance and decreased allocations.
• Various comment changes and documentation improvements.
