## lineOverlap

Takes any LineString or Polygon and returns the overlapping lines between both features.

### Parameters

*   `line1` **([Geometry][1] | [Feature][2]<([LineString][3] | [MultiLineString][4] | [Polygon][5] | [MultiPolygon][6])>)** any LineString or Polygon
*   `line2` **([Geometry][1] | [Feature][2]<([LineString][3] | [MultiLineString][4] | [Polygon][5] | [MultiPolygon][6])>)** any LineString or Polygon
*   `options` **[Object][7]** Optional parameters (optional, default `{}`)

    *   `options.tolerance` **[number][8]** Tolerance distance to match overlapping line segments (in kilometers) (optional, default `0`)

### Examples

```javascript
var line1 = turf.lineString([[115, -35], [125, -30], [135, -30], [145, -35]]);
var line2 = turf.lineString([[115, -25], [125, -30], [135, -30], [145, -25]]);

var overlapping = turf.lineOverlap(line1, line2);

//addToMap
var addToMap = [line1, line2, overlapping]
```

Returns **[FeatureCollection][9]<[LineString][3]>** lines(s) that are overlapping between both features
