turf-regular-grid #213

Closed morganherlocker closed 9 years ago

morganherlocker commented 9 years ago

polygon regular grid - I think this would more specifically be a cartesian grid, but that name might be overloaded in geo-land. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_grid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

The idea here though is turf-hex, but for squares. This should attempt to be geodesic, but we will see how the algorithm shapes up.

@morganherlocker I'm closing this, since turfjs/turf-square-grid exists now. Let me know if there's anything more you think we should capture here.
