Note by spatially equal we # mean ST_Within(A,B) = true and ST_Within(B,A) = true and also mean ordering # of points can be different but represent the same geometry structure. # To verify the order of points is consistent, use ST_OrderingEquals # (it must be noted ST_OrderingEquals is a little more stringent than # simply verifying order of points are the same). # # This function will return false if either geometry is invalid even # if they are binary equal. # # Returns Boolean ST_Equals(geometry A, geometry B); # def spatially_equal?(other) postgis_calculate(:equals, [self, other]) end # # Returns the minimum bounding box for the supplied geometry, as a geometry. # The polygon is defined by the corner points of the bounding box # ((MINX, MINY), (MINX, MAXY), (MAXX, MAXY), (MAXX, MINY), (MINX, MINY)). # PostGIS will add a ZMIN/ZMAX coordinate as well/ # # Degenerate cases (vertical lines, points) will return a geometry of # lower dimension than POLYGON, ie. POINT or LINESTRING. # # In PostGIS, the bounding box of a geometry is represented internally using # float4s instead of float8s that are used to store geometries. The bounding # box coordinates are floored, guarenteeing that the geometry is contained # entirely within its bounds. This has the advantage that a geometry's # bounding box is half the size as the minimum bounding rectangle, # which means significantly faster indexes and general performance. # But it also means that the bounding box is NOT the same as the minimum # bounding rectangle that bounds the geome. # # Returns GeometryCollection ST_Envelope(geometry g1); # def envelope postgis_calculate(:envelope, self) end # # Computes the geometric center of a geometry, or equivalently, # the center of mass of the geometry as a POINT.
