The Overlap module provides methods to remove overlapping for linear segments, also provide some informations about them:
You can give a collection of object with a start position and end position and Overlap give you Unions, Overlap spot overlapped segments and merge them to one continuous segment, and provide to you some informations like intersection quantities, new quantity/distance of your segment
The main purpose of Overlaps -- given a set of Segment objects -- is to find all possible overlaps and merge overlapped segment to ones.
This gem is inspired by overlaps so thanks Ryan Stenberg
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'overlap'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install overlap
Require the Overlap module and call #find on a collection. You can feed them two main types of input:
Array of Array objects
input_data = [ [1,4], [2,3], [5,6] ]
Overlaps.find(input_data)
Array of whatever object where each object is of the same class and the start and end point attribute/accessors are passed as values in an options hash to the :start and :end keys:
DataObject = Struct.new(:start_point, :end_point)
input_data = [ DataObject.new(1,10), DataObject.new(1,5), DataObject.new(3,6) ]
analysis = Overlaps.find(input_data, start: :start_point, end: :end_point)
Overlaps.find returns an Object Analysis, this contains all unions and informations about the global data analysis
New Segment
analysis.unions.each do |union|
union.segment => Overlap::Segment#... [1, 4]
union.segment => Overlap::Segment#... [5, 6]
end
analysis.segments => [ Overlap::Segment#... [1, 4], Overlap::Segment#... [5, 6] ]
All Segments overlapped
analysis.unions.each do |union|
union.segments => [ Overlap::Segment#... [1, 4], Overlap::Segment#... [2, 3] ]
union.segments => [ Overlap::Segment#... [5, 6] ]
end
Intersections
analysis.unions.each do |union|
union.intersections => [1]
union.intersections => []
end
analysis.intersections => [ 1, 0 ]
Quantity/Distance
analysis.unions.each do |union|
union.quantity => 3
union.quantity => 1
end
analysis.quantities => [ 3, 1 ]
analysis.quantity => 4
Quantity/Distance With Intersections
analysis.unions.each do |union|
union.quantity_with_intersections => 4
union.quantity_with_intersections => 1
end
analysis.quantities_with_intersections => [ 4, 1 ]
analysis.quantity_with_intersections => 5
Intersections Quantity/Distance
analysis.unions.each do |union|
union.intersection_quantity => 1
union.intersection_quantity => 0
end
analysis.intersections => [ 1, 0 ]
analysis.intersection_quantity => 1
