shapeSort

Sort points or shapes using different sorting methods.

var points = g.grid(6, 4, 30, 30);
g.shapeSort(points, 'distance');

Sorted points look just the same as ordinary points. It’s only when you do something related to the ordering that you see a visible difference:

var points = g.grid(6, 4, 30, 30);
var sorted = g.shapeSort(points, 'distance');
sorted.map(function (pt, i) {
    return g.ellipse(pt, i + 2, i + 2);
});

Parameters

• shapes: The list of shapes or points to sort.
• orderBy: The sort method (x, y, distance or angle).
• position: The center point used for distance or angle sorting.
