FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Informations about the package rdp

RDP-PHP

PHP implementation of the Ramer–Douglas–Peucker algorithm for polyline simplification.

License: Public Domain

Example simplified polyline

Installation

composer require david-r-edgar/rdp

Example usage

use davidredgar\polyline\RDP;

$line = array(
    array(150, 10),
    array(200, 100),
    array(360, 170),
    array(500, 280));

$rdpResult = RDP::RamerDouglasPeucker2d($line, 30);

$rdpResult will contain a resulting array with the reduced number of points. For this example:

$rdpResult == array(
    array(150, 10),
    array(200, 100),
    array(500, 280));

The second parameter to RamerDouglasPeucker2d() is epsilon, the maximum perpendicular distance for any point from the line between two adjacent points. Try replacing it with, say, 10 or 50 and observe the results.

Use for geographic purposes

I originally implemented this in order to simplify a complex route on a map. Because I was doing this in Great Britain with OSGB36 coordinates, this worked.

However, be careful if you want to want to attempt this with other coordinate systems. The algorithm assumes cartesian coordinates on a 2D plane. Attempting to use latitudes and longitudes on the surface of a sphere will result in incorrect results. For approximate polyline simplification, the results may still be acceptable. As you approach the poles, errors will become more and more apparent: put simply, the degrees of longitude will become much closer to one another than the degrees of latitude, and so incorrect points will be chosen to be removed from the polyline.
