enmeaten

You give it a bone line, and it fleshes it out. The bone line is just a series of points in order. The function returns control points that can be used to draw a line around the bone using Beziér curves or your line interpolation method of choice. (The examples linked below use various forms of d3-line.)

Installation

npm install enmeaten

Usage

var Enmeaten = require('enmeaten');
var enmeaten = Enmeaten({
  numberOfDecimalsToConsider: 4
});

console.log(enmeaten({
  bone: [
    [30, 50],
    [0, 20],
    [10, -10]
  ],
  forkLengthRange: [10, 25]
}));

Output:

[
  [ 60, 45 ],
  [ 29.19746968403191, 13.107412383579167 ],
  [ 38, -30 ],
  [ -13, -28 ],
  [ -29.19746968403191, 26.892587616420833 ],
  [ 33, 80 ]
]

You can also provide an extraRoundness opt (a number) to make it that much meatier in the middle of the bone. extraRoundnessInterpolator is a function you can pass to make it use that to decide how much extra roundness it should apply, depending on how far it is from the middle of the bone.

symmetricalEnds will make the ends of the meat symmetrical along the axis of the bone. wideEnds will make the ends of the meat wide, rather than narrow.

When creating an Enmeaten instance, the following opts can be specified:

• random: A function that behaves like Math.random. You can substitute one created by seedrandom or something you've written yourself. Helps with situations in which you want reproducible results.
• numberOfDecimalsToConsider: A positive number that tells it how precise to be when picking numbers in a range. If it encounters a range of 0.001, by default, it will always pick 0. (If the range is 100, it'll pick a whole number between 0 and 99.) If you specify 3 as numberOfDecimalsToConsider, it can pick numbers like 0.003 and 0.995. Useful for working for points that are really close together.

Tests

Run tests with make test.

Tests and tools require Node 6. Module itself should work in all versions of Node and modern browsers.
