## lineSegment

Creates a [FeatureCollection][1] of 2-vertex [LineString][2] segments from a [(Multi)LineString][2] or [(Multi)Polygon][3].

**Parameters**

-   `geojson` **([Geometry][4] \| [FeatureCollection][5] \| [Feature][6]&lt;([LineString][7] \| [MultiLineString][8] \| [MultiPolygon][9] \| [Polygon][10])>)** GeoJSON Polygon or LineString

**Examples**

```javascript
var polygon = turf.polygon([[[-50, 5], [-40, -10], [-50, -10], [-40, 5], [-50, 5]]]);
var segments = turf.lineSegment(polygon);

//addToMap
var addToMap = [polygon, segments]
```

Returns **[FeatureCollection][5]&lt;[LineString][7]>** 2-vertex line segments
