# @turf/isolines ## isolines Takes a grid [FeatureCollection][1] of [Point][2] features with z-values and an array of value breaks and generates [isolines][3]. **Parameters** - `pointGrid` **[FeatureCollection][4]<[Point][5]>** input points - `breaks` **[Array][6]<[number][7]>** values of `zProperty` where to draw isolines - `options` **[Object][8]** Optional parameters (optional, default `{}`) - `options.zProperty` **[string][9]** the property name in `points` from which z-values will be pulled (optional, default `'elevation'`) - `options.commonProperties` **[Object][8]** GeoJSON properties passed to ALL isolines (optional, default `{}`) - `options.breaksProperties` **[Array][6]<[Object][8]>** GeoJSON properties passed, in order, to the correspondent isoline; the breaks array will define the order in which the isolines are created (optional, default `[]`) **Examples** ```javascript // create a grid of points with random z-values in their properties var extent = [0, 30, 20, 50]; var cellWidth = 100; var pointGrid = turf.pointGrid(extent, cellWidth, {units: 'miles'}); for (var i = 0; i < pointGrid.features.length; i++) { pointGrid.features[i].properties.temperature = Math.random() * 10; } var breaks = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]; var lines = turf.isolines(pointGrid, breaks, {zProperty: 'temperature'}); //addToMap var addToMap = [lines]; ``` Returns **[FeatureCollection][4]<[MultiLineString][10]>** a FeatureCollection of [MultiLineString][11] features representing isolines [1]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946#section-3.3 [2]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946#section-3.1.2 [3]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoline [4]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946#section-3.3 [5]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946#section-3.1.2 [6]: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array [7]: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Number [8]: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object [9]: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String [10]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946#section-3.1.5 [11]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946#section-3.1.5 --- This module is part of the [Turfjs project](http://turfjs.org/), an open source module collection dedicated to geographic algorithms.
