lineOffset

Takes a line and returns a line at offset by the specified distance.

Parameters

• distance number distance to offset the line (can be of negative value)
• options Object Optional parameters (optional, default {})
  • options.units string can be degrees, radians, miles, kilometers, inches, yards, meters (optional, default 'kilometers')

Examples

var line = turf.lineString([[-83, 30], [-84, 36], [-78, 41]], { "stroke": "#F00" });

var offsetLine = turf.lineOffset(line, 2, {units: 'miles'});

//addToMap
var addToMap = [offsetLine, line]
offsetLine.properties.stroke = "#00F"

Returns Feature<(LineString | MultiLineString)> Line offset from the input line
