Description
When using this function, the translation is performed on each point independently, without considering the geometry of the feature as a whole.
As a result, the translation of a circle, for example, will no longer be a circle, which can be prejudicial.
Reproduced with Turf version 7.1 running at https://turf-sandbox.netlify.app/ with the following code :
const p = turf.point( [-30., 40]);
//blue : original circle around p
const c0 = turf.circle(p, 1000);
const c0_col = turf.polygon(c0.geometry.coordinates, {fill: '#0FF'});
//red : transformTranslate of the blue circle
const c1 = turf.transformTranslate(c0, 1000, 30); //red
const c1_col = turf.polygon(c1.geometry.coordinates, {fill: '#ff0000'});
//green : circle around the transformTranslate of the center of the blue one
const p1 = turf.transformTranslate(p, 1000, 30);
const c11 = turf.circle(p1, 1000);
const c11_col = turf.polygon(c11.geometry.coordinates, {fill: '#00ff00'});
return turf.featureCollection([c0_col, c11_col, c1_col]);
It would be useful to add a parameter to the function, allowing the user to decide whether or not to keep the geometric properties of the feature given as input.
