Module geo::algorithm

This module includes all the functions of geometric calculations

Modules

area	Returns the area of the surface of a geometry.
boundingbox	Returns the Bbox of a geometry.
centroid	Calculation of the centroid.
closest_point	Determine the closest point between two objects.
contains	Checks if the geometry A is completely inside the B geometry.
convexhull	Calculates the convex hull of a geometry.
distance	Returns the Euclidean distance between two geometries.
extremes	Returns the extreme indices of a Polygon, MultiPolygon, or MultiPoint.
from_postgis	Produces geometry from PostGIS.
haversine_destination	Returns a new Point using distance and bearing.
haversine_distance	Returns the Haversine distance between two geometries.
intersects	Checks if the geometry A intersects the geometry B.
length	Returns the length of a line.
map_coords	Apply a function to all coordinates
orient	Orients a Polygon's exterior and interior rings.
rotate	Rotates a geometry around either its centroid or a point by an angle, given in degrees.
simplify	Simplifies geometries using the Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm.
simplifyvw	Simplifies geometries using the Visvalingam-Whyatt algorithm. Includes a topology-preserving variant.
to_postgis	Converts geometry into PostGIS types.
translate	Translates a geometry along the given offsets.
