STInsertN: Insert single vertex into a geometry
SQL Server Spatial, unlike spatial database type systems such as PostGIS, does not provide coordinate editing functions: STAddPoint STUpdatePoint STDeletePoint These functions are not a
STUpdateN: Update (replace) a single vertex within a geometry object.
SQL Server Spatial, unlike spatial database type systems such as PostGIS, does not provide coordinate editing functions: STAddPoint STUpdatePoint STDeletePoint These functions are not a
STDelete: Deleting vertices in geometry objects
SQL Server Spatial, unlike spatial database type systems such as PostGIS, does not provide coordinate editing functions: STAddPoint STUpdatePoint STDeletePoint These functions are not a
Using Oracle’s ST_GEOMETRY type hierarchy with SDO_GEOMETRY: ST_PointN and ST_NumPoints
Oracle Spatial has, for many versions, made available an implementation of the OpenGIS SFS type hierarchy. Today I will show how to use this type
PostGIS: Creating a line inside a polygon
I love working with the PostGIS API. It is a deep and wide river to swim in. But sometime having read, researched, experimented, and not
Spatial Representation of a Communications Pit
This article describes the elements of a telecommunications pit and shows how they can be spatially represented. In particular the concept of a butterfly as a method for displaying the walls of a pit is introduced.
ST_Densify for Object PLSQL
The Java Topology Suite (JTS) has a linestring densifier function that is available in my Spatial Companion for Oracle (SC4O) solution. See here for documentation.
PLSQL ST_AsEWKT and ST_FromWKT Functions For Oracle (any version)
Previously I created the following Java stored procedures to enable the import/export of ZM aware WKT. ST_GeomFromText ST_GeomFromEWKT ST_AsText ST_AsEWKT These functions are necessary if
STFlipVectors: Normalize direction of linestring vectors
In the past I have found use for the ability to “flip” vectors in a polygon in order to provide an independent check on the
STConvertToLineString: Extract LineStrings in GeometryCollection to create LineString
I had need today to create a function that extracts all linestring elements from a GeometryCollection and returns a LineString or a MultiLineString. The function
