## isolines

Takes a grid [FeatureCollection][1] of [Point][2] features with z-values and an array of
value breaks and generates [isolines][3].

**Parameters**

-   `pointGrid` **[FeatureCollection][4]&lt;[Point][5]>** input points
-   `breaks` **[Array][6]&lt;[number][7]>** values of `zProperty` where to draw isolines
-   `options` **[Object][8]** Optional parameters (optional, default `{}`)
    -   `options.zProperty` **[string][9]** the property name in `points` from which z-values will be pulled (optional, default `'elevation'`)
    -   `options.commonProperties` **[Object][8]** GeoJSON properties passed to ALL isolines (optional, default `{}`)
    -   `options.breaksProperties` **[Array][6]&lt;[Object][8]>** GeoJSON properties passed, in order, to the correspondent isoline;
        the breaks array will define the order in which the isolines are created (optional, default `[]`)

**Examples**

```javascript
// create a grid of points with random z-values in their properties
var extent = [0, 30, 20, 50];
var cellWidth = 100;
var pointGrid = turf.pointGrid(extent, cellWidth, {units: 'miles'});

for (var i = 0; i < pointGrid.features.length; i++) {
    pointGrid.features[i].properties.temperature = Math.random() * 10;
}
var breaks = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];

var lines = turf.isolines(pointGrid, breaks, {zProperty: 'temperature'});

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

Returns **[FeatureCollection][4]&lt;[MultiLineString][10]>** a FeatureCollection of [MultiLineString][11] features representing isolines
