This module contains functions that create new geographies from coordinates or already existing geographies.

ST_BEZIERSPLINE

ST_BEZIERSPLINE(geog, resolution, sharpness)
Description
Takes a line and returns a curved version of it by applying a Bezier spline algorithm. Note that the resulting geography will be a LineString with additional points inserted.
  • geog: GEOGRAPHY input LineString.
  • resolution: INT64|NULL total time in milliseconds assigned to the line. If NULL the default value 10000 is used. Internal curve vertices are generated in 10 ms increments, so the maximum number of resulting points will be resolution/10 (close points may be merged resulting in less points). A higher number will increase the accuracy of the result but will increase the computation time and number of points.
  • sharpness: FLOAT64|NULL a measure of how curvy the path should be between splines. If NULL the default value 0.85 is used.

ST_MAKEELLIPSE

ST_MAKEELLIPSE(geog, xSemiAxis, ySemiAxis, angle, units, steps)
Description
Takes a Point and calculates the ellipse polygon given two semi-axes expressed in variable units and steps for precision.
  • center: GEOGRAPHY center point.
  • xSemiAxis: FLOAT64 semi (major) axis of the ellipse along the x-axis.
  • ySemiAxis: FLOAT64 semi (minor) axis of the ellipse along the y-axis.
  • angle: FLOAT64|NULL angle of rotation (along the vertical axis), from North in decimal degrees, negative clockwise. If NULL the default value 0 is used.
  • units: STRING|NULL units of length, the supported options are: miles, kilometers, and degrees. If NULLthe default value kilometers is used.
  • steps: INT64|NULL number of steps. If NULL the default value 64 is used.
