ST_MAKEELLIPSE
carto.ST_MAKEELLIPSE(geog, xSemiAxis, ySemiAxis [, angle] [, units] [, steps])
Description
Takes a Point as input and calculates the ellipse polygon given two semi-axes expressed in variable units and steps for precision.
center
: GEOMETRY
center point.
xSemiAxis
: FLOAT8
semi (major) axis of the ellipse along the x-axis.
ySemiAxis
: FLOAT8
semi (minor) axis of the ellipse along the y-axis.
angle
(optional): FLOAT8
angle of rotation (along the vertical axis), from North in decimal degrees, negative clockwise. If not specified, the default value of 0
will be used.
units
(optional): VARCHAR(10)
units of length. The supported options are: miles, kilometers, meters, and degrees. If not specified, kilometers
will be used.
steps
(optional): INT
number of steps. If not specified, the default value of 64
will be used.
