(See the <ulink url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946">GeoJSON specifications RFC 7946</ulink>).
|
|
2D and 3D Geometries are both supported.
|
|
GeoJSON only support SFS 1.1 geometry types (no curve support for example).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <varname>maxdecimaldigits</varname> argument may be used to reduce the maximum number of decimal places used in output (defaults to 9). If you are using EPSG:4326 and are outputting the geometry only for display, <varname>maxdecimaldigits</varname>=6 can be a good choice for many maps.</para>
|
|
|
|
<warning>
|
|
<para>Using the <parameter>maxdecimaldigits</parameter> parameter
|
|
can cause output geometry to become invalid.
|
|
To avoid this use <xref linkend="ST_ReducePrecision" />
|

with a suitable gridsize first.

<para>The GeoJSON specification states that polygons are oriented using the Right-Hand Rule,
|
|
and some clients require this orientation.
|
|
This can be ensured by using <xref linkend="ST_ForcePolygonCCW"/>.
|
|
The specification also requires that geometry be in the WGS84 coordinate system
|
|
(SRID = 4326).
|
|
If necessary geometry can be projected into WGS84 using <xref linkend="ST_Transform"/>:
|
|
<code>ST_Transform( geom, 4326 )</code>.

are "D" for degrees, "M" for minutes, "S" for seconds, and "C" for cardinal direction (NSEW). DMS tokens may be repeated to indicate

desired width and precision ("SSS.SSSS" means " 1.0023").

<para>Transforms a geometry into the coordinate space of a MVT (<ulink url="https://www.mapbox.com/vector-tiles/">Mapbox Vector Tile</ulink>) tile,
|
|
clipping it to the tile bounds if required.
|
|
The geometry must be in the coordinate system of the target map (using <xref linkend="ST_Transform" /> if needed).
|
|
Commonly this is <ulink url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Mercator_projection">Web Mercator</ulink> (SRID:3857).
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>The function attempts to preserve geometry validity, and corrects it if needed.
|
|
This may cause the result geometry to collapse to a lower dimension.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>The rectangular bounds of the tile in the target map coordinate space must be provided,
|
|
so the geometry can be transformed, and clipped if required.
|

<para>An aggregate function which returns a binary <ulink url="https://www.mapbox.com/vector-tiles/">Mapbox Vector Tile</ulink>
|
|
representation of a set of rows corresponding to a tile layer.
|
|
The rows must contain a geometry column which will be encoded as a feature geometry.
|
|
The geometry must be in tile coordinate space
|
|
and valid as per the <ulink url="https://www.mapbox.com/vector-tiles/specification/">MVT specification</ulink>.
|
|
<xref linkend="ST_AsMVTGeom" /> can be used to transform geometry into tile coordinate space.
|
|
Other row columns are encoded as feature attributes.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <ulink url="https://www.mapbox.com/vector-tiles/">Mapbox Vector Tile</ulink> format
|
|
can store features with varying sets of attributes.
|
|
To use this capability supply a JSONB column in the row data containing Json objects one level deep.
|
|
The keys and values in the JSONB values will be encoded as feature attributes.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Tiles with multiple layers can be created by concatenating multiple calls to this function
|
|
using <varname>||</varname> or <varname>STRING_AGG</varname>.
|

</para>
|
|
|
|
<important>
|
|
<para>Do not call with a <varname>GEOMETRYCOLLECTION</varname> as an element in the row.
|
|
However you can use <xref linkend="ST_AsMVTGeom" /> to prepare a geometry collection for inclusion.</para>
|
|
</important>
|

|
|
<para><varname>row</varname> row data with at least a geometry column.</para>
|
|
<para><varname>name</varname> is the name of the layer. Default is the string "default".</para>
|
|
<para><varname>extent</varname> is the tile extent in screen space as defined by the specification. Default is 4096.</para>
|
|
<para><varname>geom_name</varname> is the name of the geometry column in the row data. Default is the first geometry column. Note that PostgreSQL by default automatically <ulink url="https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-syntax-lexical.html#SQL-SYNTAX-IDENTIFIERS">folds unquoted identifiers to lower case</ulink>, which means that unless the geometry column is quoted, e.g. <varname>"MyMVTGeom"</varname>, this parameter must be provided as lowercase.</para>
|
|
<para><varname>feature_id_name</varname> is the name of the Feature ID column in the row data. If NULL or negative the Feature ID is not set. The first column matching name and valid type (smallint, integer, bigint) will be used as Feature ID, and any subsequent column will be added as a property. JSON properties are not supported.</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>Enhanced: 3.0 - added support for Feature ID.</para>

<para>Returns the geometry in TWKB (Tiny Well-Known Binary) format. TWKB is a <ulink url="https://github.com/TWKB/Specification/blob/master/twkb.md">compressed binary format</ulink> with a focus on minimizing the size of the output. </para>
|
|
<para>The decimal digits parameters control how much precision is stored in the output. By default, values are rounded to the nearest unit before encoding. If you want to transfer more precision, increase the number. For example, a value of 1 implies that the first digit to the right of the decimal point will be preserved.</para>
|
|
<para>The sizes and bounding boxes parameters control whether optional information about the encoded length of the object and the bounds of the object are included in the output. By default they are not. Do not turn them on unless your client software has a use for them, as they just use up space (and saving space is the point of TWKB).</para>
|
|
<para>The array-input form of the function is used to convert a collection of geometries and unique identifiers into a TWKB collection that preserves the identifiers. This is useful for clients that expect to unpack a collection and then access further information about the objects inside. You can create the arrays using the <ulink url="https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-aggregate.html">array_agg</ulink> function. The other parameters operate the same as for the simple form of the function.</para>

<para>Returns a geometry as an X3D xml formatted node element <ulink url="http://www.web3d.org/standards/number/19776-1">http://www.web3d.org/standards/number/19776-1</ulink>. If <varname>maxdecimaldigits</varname> (precision) is not specified then defaults to 15. </para>
|
|
<note>
|
|
<para>There are various options for translating PostGIS geometries to X3D since X3D geometry types don't map directly to PostGIS geometry types and some newer X3D types that might be better mappings we have avoided since most rendering tools don't currently support them.
|
|
These are the mappings we have settled on. Feel free to post a bug ticket if you have thoughts on the idea or ways we can allow people to denote their preferred mappings.</para>
|
|
<para>Below is how we currently map PostGIS 2D/3D types to X3D types</para>
|
|
</note>
|
|
|
|
<para>The 'options' argument is a bitfield. For PostGIS 2.2+, this is used to denote whether to represent coordinates with X3D GeoCoordinates Geospatial node and also whether to flip the x/y axis. By default, <code>ST_AsX3D</code> outputs in database form (long,lat or X,Y), but X3D default of lat/lon, y/x may be preferred.</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>0: X/Y in database order (e.g. long/lat = X,Y is standard database order), default value, and non-spatial coordinates (just regular old Coordinate tag).</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>1: Flip X and Y. If used in conjunction with the GeoCoordinate option switch, then output will be default "latitude_first" and coordinates will be flipped as well.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>2: Output coordinates in GeoSpatial GeoCoordinates. This option will throw an error if geometries are not in WGS 84 long lat (srid: 4326). This is currently the only GeoCoordinate type supported. <ulink url="http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.2/Part01/components/geodata.html#Specifyingaspatialreference">Refer to X3D specs specifying a spatial reference system.</ulink>. Default output will be <code>GeoCoordinate geoSystem='"GD" "WE" "longitude_first"'</code>. If
|
|
you prefer the X3D default of <code>GeoCoordinate geoSystem='"GD" "WE" "latitude_first"'</code> use <code>(2 + 1)</code> = <code>3</code> </para>

|
|
|
|
<para>Computes a <ulink url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geohash">GeoHash</ulink> representation of a geometry.
|
|
A GeoHash encodes a geographic Point into a text form that is sortable and searchable based on prefixing.
|
|
A shorter GeoHash is a less precise representation of a point.
|
|
It can be thought of as a box that contains the point.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Non-point geometry values with non-zero extent can also be mapped to GeoHash codes.
|
|
The precision of the code depends on the geographic extent of the geometry.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If <varname>maxchars</varname> is not specified, the returned GeoHash code is for the smallest cell containing the input geometry.
|
|
Points return a GeoHash with 20 characters of precision (about enough to hold the full double precision of the input).
|
|
Other geometric types may return a GeoHash with less precision, depending on the extent of the geometry.
|
|
Larger geometries are represented with less precision, smaller ones with more precision.
|
|
The box determined by the GeoHash code always contains the input feature.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If <varname>maxchars</varname> is specified the returned GeoHash code has at most that many characters.
|
|
It maps to a (possibly) lower precision representation of the input geometry.
|
|
For non-points, the starting point of the calculation is the center of the bounding box of the geometry.</para>
