Creates a grid of points within a bounding box.
npm install @turf/point-gridCreates a grid of points
* bbox [BBox][1] extent of grid in \[minX, minY, maxX, maxY] order
* cellSide [number][2] the distance between points
* options [Object][3] Optional parameters (optional, default {})
* options.units Units the units of the cellSide value. Supports all valid Turf [Units][4] (optional, default 'kilometers')
* options.mask [Feature][5]<([Polygon][6] | [MultiPolygon][7])>? if passed a Polygon or MultiPolygon, the grid Points will be created only inside it
* options.properties [Object][3] passed to each point of the grid (optional, default {})
``javascript
var extent = [-70.823364, -33.553984, -70.473175, -33.302986];
var cellSide = 3;
var options = {units: 'miles'};
var grid = turf.pointGrid(extent, cellSide, options);
//addToMap
var addToMap = [grid];
`
Returns [FeatureCollection][8]<[Point][9]> grid of points
