Rust bindings providing a high-level API to SFCGAL
library and conversion to / from other geometry crates from Rust ecosystem.
Based on the sfcgal-sys crate exposing low-level bindings.
Some key features of the underlying library:
- Supports ISO 19107 and OGC Simple Features Access 1.2 for 3D operations.
- Reads and writes WKT with exact rational number representation of coordinates for 2D and 3D geometries.
- Intersection, difference and union.
- Straight skeleton, tesselation, Minkovski sum, alpha shapes and convex hull.
Important
Note that the required version of SFCGAL is currently 1.5.x (latest version - 2023-10-30).
If you want to use SFCCAL 1.4.x, you can use the 0.6.x version of this crate.
Example with 3-member tuples for 3d coordinates and WKT:
extern crate sfcgal;
use sfcgal::{SFCGeometry, CoordSeq, ToCoordinates, ToSFCGAL};
// create a linestring from WKT:
let line_3d = SFCGeometry::new("LINESTRING(-0.5 -0.5 2.5, 0.0 0.0 4.0)")?;
// create a polygon as Vec of 3-member tuples...
let coords_polygon = vec![
vec![ // Exterior ring
(-1., -1., 3.0),
(1., -1., 3.0),
(1., 1., 3.0),
(-1., 1., 3.0),
(-1., -1., 3.0),
],
vec![ // 1 interior ring
(0.1, 0.1, 3.0),
(0.1, 0.9, 3.0),
(0.9, 0.9, 3.0),
(0.9, 0.1, 3.0),
(0.1, 0.1, 3.0),
],
];
// ...by using the CoordSeq enum variants to match the wanted SFCGAL geometry type
// (returns a SFCGeometry)
let polygon_3d = CoordSeq::Polygon(coords_polygon).to_sfcgal()?;
// ...
let intersection = line_3d.intersection_3d(&polygon_3d)?;
// Retrieve coordinates of the resulting geometry as 3-member tuples:
let coords_intersection: CoordSeq<(f64, f64, f64)> = intersection.to_coordinates()?;
println!("{:?} and {:?} intersects at {:?}", line_3d, polygon_3d, coords_intersection);
Example with geo-types:
extern crate geo_types;
extern crate sfcgal;
use geo_types::{LineString, Polygon};
use sfcgal::ToSFCGAL;
// create a geo_types Polygon:
let polygon = Polygon::new(
LineString::from(vec![(0., 0.), (1., 0.), (1., 1.), (0., 1.,), (0., 0.)]),
vec![LineString::from(
vec![(0.1, 0.1), (0.1, 0.9,), (0.9, 0.9), (0.9, 0.1), (0.1, 0.1)])]);
// create a geo_types LineString:
let line = LineString::from(vec![(-0.5, -0.5), (1.3, 1.), (1.1, 1.9)]);
// convert them to sfcgal geometries:
let polyg_sfc = polygon.to_sfcgal().unwrap();
let line_sfc = line.to_sfcgal().unwrap();
// Use SFCGAL operations:
assert!(polyg_sfc.intersects(&line_sfc).unwrap(), true);
See examples/skeleton_geojson.rs
for an example of working with some other crates from Rust-geo ecosystem.
Needed a SFCGAL feature for a side-project in Rust and I thought it would be a good opportunity to try using bindgen on SFCGAL C API.
In the end a large part of the API is wrapped, so maybe it could be reused or improved by someone now it's published on crates.io.
