# FlexiblePolyline

The flexible polyline encoding from heremaps is a lossy compressed representation of a list of coordinate pairs or coordinate triples.

It achieves that by:

1. Reducing the decimal digits of each value.
2. Encoding only the offset from the previous point.
3. Using variable length for each coordinate delta.
4. Using 64 URL-safe characters to display the result.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'flexible_polyline'
```

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install flexible_polyline

## Usage

Encode:
```ruby
FlexiblePolyline::Encoder.encode(third_dim: 1, precision: 8, third_dim_precision: 8, positions: [[-96.628241002595274, 34.155307026461529, 228.390420353746407]])
```
=>
"B4gBnq_r-_R-suzyrGm_vgqxqB"

Decode:
```ruby
FlexiblePolyline::Decoder.decode('B4gBnq_r-_R-suzyrGm_vgqxqB')
```

=>
```json
{"header": {"precision": 8, "third_dim": 1, "third_dim_precision": 8}, "positions": [[-96.628241, 34.15530703, 228.39042035]]}
```

## Development

After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake spec` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
