ST_Affine(geometry, a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, xOff, yOff, zOff)

ST_Affine(geometry, a, b, d, e, xOff, yOff)

Based on the invoked function, the following transformation is applied:

x = a * x + b * y + c * z + xOff OR x = a * x + b * y + xOff

y = d * x + e * y + f * z + yOff OR y = d * x + e * y + yOff

z = g * x + f * y + i * z + zOff OR z = g * x + f * y + zOff

ST_Angle

Introduction: Compute and return the angle between two vectors represented by the provided points or linestrings.

There are three variants possible for ST_Angle:

ST_Angle(point1: Geometry, point2: Geometry, point3: Geometry, point4: Geometry)

Computes the angle formed by vectors represented by point1 - point2 and point3 - point4

ST_Angle(point1: Geometry, point2: Geometry, point3: Geometry)

Computes the angle formed by vectors represented by point2 - point1 and point2 - point3

ST_Angle(line1: Geometry, line2: Geometry)

Computes the angle formed by vectors S1 - E1 and S2 - E2, where S and E denote start and end points respectively

Note

If any other geometry type is provided, ST_Angle throws an IllegalArgumentException. Additionally, if any of the provided geometry is empty, ST_Angle throws an IllegalArgumentException.

Note

If a 3D geometry is provided, ST_Angle computes the angle ignoring the z ordinate, equivalent to calling ST_Angle for corresponding 2D geometries.

Tip

ST_Angle returns the angle in radian between 0 and 2\Pi. To convert the angle to degrees, use ST_Degrees.

ST_H3CellDistance

Introduction: return result of h3 function gridDistance(cel1, cell2). As described by H3 documentation

Finding the distance can fail because the two indexes are not comparable (different resolutions), too far apart, or are separated by pentagonal distortion. This is the same set of limitations as the local IJ coordinate space functions.

In this case, Sedona use in-house implementation of estimation the shortest path and return the size as distance.

Format: ST_H3CellDistance(cell1: Long, cell2: Long)

Since: v1.5.0

Example:

select ST_H3CellDistance(ST_H3CellIDs(ST_GeomFromWKT('POINT(1 2)'), 8, true)[1], ST_H3CellIDs(ST_GeomFromWKT('POINT(1.23 1.59)'), 8, true)[1])

ST_H3CellIDs

Introduction: Cover the geometry by H3 cell IDs with the given resolution(level). To understand the cell statistics please refer to H3 Doc H3 native fill functions doesn't guarantee full coverage on the shapes.

Cover Polygon

When fullCover = false, for polygon sedona will use polygonToCells. This can't guarantee full coverage but will guarantee no false positive.

When fullCover = true, sedona will add on extra traversal logic to guarantee full coverage on shapes. This will lead to redundancy but can guarantee full coverage.

Choose the option according to your use case.

Cover LineString

For the lineString, sedona will call gridPathCells(https://h3geo.org/docs/api/traversal#gridpathcells) per segment. From H3's documentation

This function may fail to find the line between two indexes, for example if they are very far apart. It may also fail when finding distances for indexes on opposite sides of a pentagon.

When the gridPathCells function throw error, Sedona implemented in-house approximate implementation to generate the shortest path, which can cover the corner cases.

Both functions can't guarantee full coverage. When the fullCover = true, we'll do extra cell traversal to guarantee full cover. In worst case, sedona will use MBR to guarantee the full coverage.

If you seek to get the shortest path between cells, you can call this function with fullCover = false

Format: ST_H3CellIDs(geom: geometry, level: Int, fullCover: true)

Since: v1.5.0

Example:

SELECT ST_H3CellIDs(ST_GeomFromText('LINESTRING(1 3 4, 5 6 7)'), 6, true)

ST_HausdorffDistance

Introduction: Returns a discretized (and hence approximate) Hausdorff distance between the given 2 geometries. Optionally, a densityFraction parameter can be specified, which gives more accurate results by densifying segments before computing hausdorff distance between them. Each segment is broken down into equal-length subsegments whose ratio with segment length is closest to the given density fraction.

Hence, the lower the densityFrac value, the more accurate is the computed hausdorff distance, and the more time it takes to compute it.

If any of the geometry is empty, 0.0 is returned.

Note

Accepted range of densityFrac is (0.0, 1.0], if any other value is provided, ST_HausdorffDistance throws an IllegalArgumentException

Note

Even though the function accepts 3D geometry, the z ordinate is ignored and the computed hausdorff distance is equivalent to the geometries not having the z ordinate.

Example:

SELECT ST_MinimumBoundingRadius(ST_GeomFromText('POLYGON((1 1,0 0, -1 1, 1 1))'))

Output:

{POINT (0 1), 1.0}

ST_Multi

Introduction: Returns a MultiGeometry object based on the geometry input. ST_Multi is basically an alias for ST_Collect with one geometry.

Format: ST_Multi(geom: Geometry)

Since: v1.5.0

Example:

SELECT ST_Multi(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(1 1)'))

Output:

MULTIPOINT (1 1)

ST_Normalize

Introduction: Returns the input geometry in its normalized form.

Format: ST_Normalize(geom: Geometry)

Since: v1.3.0

ST_Transform

Introduction:

Transform the Spatial Reference System / Coordinate Reference System of A, from SourceCRS to TargetCRS. For SourceCRS and TargetCRS, WKT format is also available since v1.3.1.

Lon/Lat Order in the input geometry

If the input geometry is in lat/lon order, it might throw an error such as too close to pole, latitude or longitude exceeded limits, or give unexpected results. You need to make sure that the input geometry is in lon/lat order. If the input geometry is in lat/lon order, you can use ST_FlipCoordinates to swap X and Y.

Lon/Lat Order in the source and target CRS

Sedona will force the source and target CRS to be in lon/lat order. If the source CRS or target CRS is in lat/lon order, it will be swapped to lon/lat order.

CRS code

The CRS code is the code of the CRS in the official EPSG database (https://epsg.org/) in the format of EPSG:XXXX. A community tool EPSG.io can help you quick identify a CRS code. For example, the code of WGS84 is EPSG:4326.

WKT format

You can also use OGC WKT v1 format to specify the source CRS and target CRS. An example OGC WKT v1 CRS of EPGS:3857 is as follows:

PROJCS["WGS 84 / Pseudo-Mercator",
    GEOGCS["WGS 84",
        DATUM["WGS_1984",
            SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.257223563,
                AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]],
            AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]],
        PRIMEM["Greenwich",0,
            AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]],
        UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433,
            AUTHORITY["EPSG","9122"]],
        AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]],
    PROJECTION["Mercator_1SP"],
    PARAMETER["central_meridian",0],
    PARAMETER["scale_factor",1],
    PARAMETER["false_easting",0],
    PARAMETER["false_northing",0],
    UNIT["metre",1,
        AUTHORITY["EPSG","9001"]],
    AXIS["Easting",EAST],
    AXIS["Northing",NORTH],
    EXTENSION["PROJ4","+proj=merc +a=6378137 +b=6378137 +lat_ts=0 +lon_0=0 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +k=1 +units=m +nadgrids=@null +wktext +no_defs"],
    AUTHORITY["EPSG","3857"]]

Note

By default, this function uses lon/lat order since v1.5.0. Before, it used lat/lon order.

Note

By default, ST_Transform follows the lenient mode which tries to fix issues by itself. You can append a boolean value at the end to enable the strict mode. In strict mode, ST_Transform will throw an error if it finds any issue.

Format:

ST_Transform (A: Geometry, SourceCRS: String, TargetCRS: String, [Optional] lenientMode: Boolean)

Since: v1.2.0

Example:

SELECT ST_AsText(ST_Transform(ST_GeomFromText('POLYGON((170 50,170 72,-130 72,-130 50,170 50))'),'EPSG:4326', 'EPSG:32649'))
SELECT ST_AsText(ST_Transform(ST_GeomFromText('POLYGON((170 50,170 72,-130 72,-130 50,170 50))'),'EPSG:4326', 'EPSG:32649', false))

Output:

POLYGON ((8766047.980342899 17809098.336766362, 5122546.516721856 18580261.912528664, 3240775.0740796793 -13688660.50985159, 4556241.924514083 -12463044.21488129, 8766047.980342899 17809098.336766362))

ST_Translate

Introduction: Returns the input geometry with its X, Y and Z coordinates (if present in the geometry) translated by deltaX, deltaY and deltaZ (if specified)

If the geometry is 2D, and a deltaZ parameter is specified, no change is done to the Z coordinate of the geometry and the resultant geometry is also 2D.

If the geometry is empty, no change is done to it.

If the given geometry contains sub-geometries (GEOMETRY COLLECTION, MULTI POLYGON/LINE/POINT), all underlying geometries are individually translated.

Format:

ST_Translate(geometry: Geometry, deltaX: Double, deltaY: Double, deltaZ: Double)

Since: v1.4.1

Example:

SELECT ST_Translate(ST_GeomFromText('GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(MULTIPOLYGON(((3 2,3 3,4 3,4 2,3 2)),((3 4,5 6,5 7,3 4))), POINT(1 1 1), LINESTRING EMPTY)'), 2, 2, 3)

Output:

POINT (-70.01 44.37)

ST_VoronoiPolygons

Introduction: Returns a two-dimensional Voronoi diagram from the vertices of the supplied geometry. The result is a GeometryCollection of Polygons that covers an envelope larger than the extent of the input vertices. Returns null if input geometry is null. Returns an empty geometry collection if the input geometry contains only one vertex. Returns an empty geometry collection if the extend_to envelope has zero area.

Format: ST_VoronoiPolygons(g1: Geometry, tolerance: Double, extend_to: Geometry)

Optional parameters:

tolerance : The distance within which vertices will be considered equivalent. Robustness of the algorithm can be improved by supplying a nonzero tolerance distance. (default = 0.0)

extend_to : If a geometry is supplied as the "extend_to" parameter, the diagram will be extended to cover the envelope of the "extend_to" geometry, unless that envelope is smaller than the default envelope (default = NULL. By default, we extend the bounding box of the diagram by the max between bounding box's height and bounding box's width).
