1# d3-polygon2 3This module provides a few basic geometric operations for two-dimensional polygons. Each polygon is represented as an array of two-element arrays [​[<i>x1</i>, <i>y1</i>], [<i>x2</i>, <i>y2</i>], …], and may either be closed (wherein the first and last point are the same) or open (wherein they are not). Typically polygons are in counterclockwise order, assuming a coordinate system where the origin ⟨0,0⟩ is in the top-left corner.4 5## Installing6 7If you use npm, `npm install d3-polygon`. You can also download the [latest release on GitHub](https://github.com/d3/d3-polygon/releases/latest). For vanilla HTML in modern browsers, import d3-polygon from Skypack:8 9```html10<script type="module">11 12import {polygonHull} from "https://cdn.skypack.dev/d3-polygon@3";13 14const hull = polygonHull(points);15 16</script>17```18 19For legacy environments, you can load d3-polygon’s UMD bundle from an npm-based CDN such as jsDelivr; a `d3` global is exported:20 21```html22<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/d3-polygon@3"></script>23<script>24 25const hull = d3.polygonHull(points);26 27</script>28```29 30## API Reference31 32<a href="#polygonArea" name="polygonArea">#</a> d3.<b>polygonArea</b>(<i>polygon</i>) [<>](https://github.com/d3/d3-polygon/blob/master/src/area.js "Source Code")33 34Returns the signed area of the specified *polygon*. If the vertices of the polygon are in counterclockwise order (assuming a coordinate system where the origin ⟨0,0⟩ is in the top-left corner), the returned area is positive; otherwise it is negative, or zero.35 36<a href="#polygonCentroid" name="polygonCentroid">#</a> d3.<b>polygonCentroid</b>(<i>polygon</i>) [<>](https://github.com/d3/d3-polygon/blob/master/src/centroid.js "Source Code")37 38Returns the [centroid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centroid) of the specified *polygon*.39 40<a href="#polygonHull" name="polygonHull">#</a> d3.<b>polygonHull</b>(<i>points</i>) [<>](https://github.com/d3/d3-polygon/blob/master/src/hull.js#L23 "Source Code")41 42<a href="http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/6f14f7b7f267a85f7cdc"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/d3/d3-polygon/master/img/hull.png" width="250" height="250"></a>43 44Returns the [convex hull](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_hull) of the specified *points* using [Andrew’s monotone chain algorithm](http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Algorithm_Implementation/Geometry/Convex_hull/Monotone_chain). The returned hull is represented as an array containing a subset of the input *points* arranged in counterclockwise order. Returns null if *points* has fewer than three elements.45 46<a href="#polygonContains" name="polygonContains">#</a> d3.<b>polygonContains</b>(<i>polygon</i>, <i>point</i>) [<>](https://github.com/d3/d3-polygon/blob/master/src/contains.js "Source Code")47 48Returns true if and only if the specified *point* is inside the specified *polygon*.49 50<a href="#polygonLength" name="polygonLength">#</a> d3.<b>polygonLength</b>(<i>polygon</i>) [<>](https://github.com/d3/d3-polygon/blob/master/src/length.js "Source Code")51 52Returns the length of the perimeter of the specified *polygon*.53
