## truncate

Takes a GeoJSON Feature or FeatureCollection and truncates the precision of the geometry.

**Parameters**

-   `geojson` **[GeoJSON][1]** any GeoJSON Feature, FeatureCollection, Geometry or GeometryCollection.
-   `options` **[Object][2]** Optional parameters (optional, default `{}`)
    -   `options.precision` **[number][3]** coordinate decimal precision (optional, default `6`)
    -   `options.coordinates` **[number][3]** maximum number of coordinates (primarly used to remove z coordinates) (optional, default `3`)
    -   `options.mutate` **[boolean][4]** allows GeoJSON input to be mutated (significant performance increase if true) (optional, default `false`)

**Examples**

```javascript
var point = turf.point([
    70.46923055566859,
    58.11088890802906,
    1508
]);
var options = {precision: 3, coordinates: 2};
var truncated = turf.truncate(point, options);
//=truncated.geometry.coordinates => [70.469, 58.111]

//addToMap
var addToMap = [truncated];
```

Returns **[GeoJSON][1]** layer with truncated geometry
