<!-- Generated by documentation.js. Update this documentation by updating the source code. -->

## lineSliceAlong

Takes a [line][1], a specified distance along the line to a start [Point][2],
and a specified  distance along the line to a stop point
and returns a subsection of the line in-between those points.

This can be useful for extracting only the part of a route between two distances.

### Parameters

*   `line` **([Feature][3]<[LineString][1]> | [LineString][1])** input line
*   `startDist` **[number][4]** distance along the line to starting point
*   `stopDist` **[number][4]** distance along the line to ending point
*   `options` **[Object][5]** Optional parameters (optional, default `{}`)

    *   `options.units` **[string][6]** can be degrees, radians, miles, or kilometers (optional, default `'kilometers'`)

### Examples

```javascript
var line = turf.lineString([[7, 45], [9, 45], [14, 40], [14, 41]]);
var start = 12.5;
var stop = 25;
var sliced = turf.lineSliceAlong(line, start, stop, {units: 'miles'});

//addToMap
var addToMap = [line, start, stop, sliced]
```

Returns **[Feature][3]<[LineString][1]>** sliced line
