Throws an exception if any element in the array is NULL If there are fewer than two non-empty points in the input array, an empty LineString will be returned. Returns a LineString formed from an array of points. ST_LineString(array(Point)) -> LineString Returns a geometry type linestring object from WKT representation. Returns a geometry type object from WKB representation.

Returns a geometry type object from WKT representation. For empty geometries, ST_AsText(ST_LineFromText('LINESTRING EMPTY')) will produce 'MULTILINESTRING EMPTY' and ST_AsText(ST_Polygon('POLYGON EMPTY')) will produce 'MULTIPOLYGON EMPTY'. Returns the WKT representation of the geometry. Returns the WKB representation of the geometry. Returns 3.4577 in the unit of the passed-in values on the euclidean plane, while Use to_spherical_geography() function to convert a geometry object to geography object.įor example, ST_Distance(ST_Point(-71.0882, 42.3607), ST_Point(-74.1197, 40.6976)) Values returned by the measurement functions ST_Distance and ST_Length are in the unit of meters values returned by ST_Area are in square meters. More accurate measurements that take the actual spheroidal shape of the world into account are not supported. That means that calculations on geographies (areas, distances, lengths, intersections, etc) must be calculated on the sphere, using more complicated mathematics. The shortest path between two points on the sphere is a great circle arc. The basis for the SphericalGeography type is a sphere. That means calculations on geometries (areas, distances, lengths, intersections, etc) can be calculated using cartesian mathematics and straight line vectors. The shortest path between two points on the plane is a straight line. The basis for the Geometry type is a plane. Geographic coordinates are spherical coordinates expressed in angular units (degrees). The SphericalGeography type provides native support for spatial features represented on geographic coordinates (sometimes called geodetic coordinates, or lat/lon, or lon/lat). Use ST_GeometryFromText and ST_GeomFromBinary functions to create geometry objects from WKT or WKB. GEOMETRYCOLLECTION (POINT(2 3), LINESTRING (2 3, 3 4)).OpenLooKeng Geospatial functions support the Well-Known Text (WKT) and Well-Known Binary (WKB) form of spatial objects: For example, it does not make sense to calculate the area of a polygon that has a hole defined outside of the polygon, or to construct a polygon from a non-simple boundary As such, many openLooKeng Geospatial functions require, or more accurately, assume that geometries that are operated on are both simple and valid. OpenLooKeng Geospatial functions that begin with the ST_ prefix support the SQL/MM specification and are compliant with the Open Geospatial Consortium’s (OGC) OpenGIS Specifications.
