Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

extrude-polyline

unstable

img

Extrudes a 2D polyline with a given line thickness and the desired join/cap types. Tries to maintain visual consistency with HTML5 2D context stroking.

var polylne = [ [25, 25], [15, 60] ]
var stroke = require('extrude-polyline')({ 
    thickness: 20, 
    cap: 'square',
    join: 'bevel',
    miterLimit: 10
})

//builds a triangulated mesh from a polyline
var mesh = stroke.build(polyline)

The returned mesh is a simplicial complex.

{
    positions: [ [x,y], [x,y] ],
    cells: [ [a,b,c], [a,b,c] ]
}

variable thickness

Currently, to achieve variable thickness you can provide a mapThickness function to the stroke instance before building. By default, it will simply return the current thickness.

//create a falloff, so the thickness tapers toward the start of the path
stroke.mapThickness = function(point, index, points) {
    return this.thickness * index/(points.length-1)
}.bind(stroke)

demo

Git clone, npm install, then npm run test

Usage

NPM

stroke = Extrusion([opt])

Creates a new path builder with the given settings:

  • thickness the line thickness
  • miterLimit the limit before miters turn into bevels; default 10
  • join the join type, can be 'miter' or 'bevel' - default 'miter'
  • cap the cap type, can be 'butt' or 'square' - defalut 'butt'

mesh = stroke.build(points)

Builds a stroke with the specified list of 2D points. Returns a simplicial complex.

Roadmap

Some features that could be useful to add at a later point. PRs welcome.

  • round corners
  • round end caps
  • use consistent winding order so we don't need to disable gl.CULLING
  • connecting start and end points
  • optimizations for flat arrays (Float32Array) ?
  • optimizations for GC (pooling, etc)
  • handling anti-aliasing
  • degenerate triangles or some other form of supporting disconnected lines
  • unify codebase with polyline-normals
