ST_ToGeometry¶

Converts a geography to a geometry by changing the edge interpretation to planar.

Usage¶

geometry ST_ToGeometry(geom: geometry)
geometry ST_ToGeometry(geog: geography)

Arguments¶

geog (geography): Input geography
geom (geometry): Input geometry

Description¶

Converts a geography to a geometry by changing the edge interpretation from spherical to planar. This is a metadata-only operation that does not modify the underlying coordinate data. If the input is already a geometry, it is returned unchanged.

Examples¶

SELECT ST_ToGeometry(ST_GeogFromText('POINT (-122.35 47.62)'));
