geoPHP module

This module does not provide any direct functionality to end-users or site-administrators. GeoPHP is a open-source native PHP library for doing geometry operations. It works with all Simple-Feature geometries (Point, LineString, Polygon, GeometryCollection etc.) and can be used to get centroids, bounding-boxes, area, and a wide variety of

  • ther useful information.

Many other mapping modules require the geoPHP modules.
