Our S2 module is based on a port of the official S2 geometry library created by Google. For more information about S2 check the library's website or the Spatial Indexes section of this documentation.
S2_BOUNDARY
Description
Returns the boundary for a given S2 cell ID. We extract the boundary by getting the corner longitudes and latitudes, then enclose it in a GeoJSON and finally transform it into geography.
id: INT64 S2 cell ID to get the boundary geography from.
Return type
GEOGRAPHY
Example
carto-un carto-un-eu manual
Copy SELECT `carto-un`.carto.S2_BOUNDARY(955378847514099712);
-- POLYGON((-3.41955272426037 40.25850071217, -3.41955272426037 ...
Copy SELECT `carto-un-eu`.carto.S2_BOUNDARY(955378847514099712);
-- POLYGON((-3.41955272426037 40.25850071217, -3.41955272426037 ...
Copy SELECT carto.S2_BOUNDARY(955378847514099712);
-- POLYGON((-3.41955272426037 40.25850071217, -3.41955272426037 ...
S2 Cell edges are spherical geodesics. The boundary edges can be interpreted as straight lines in other GIS tools, so to export the exact shape of the cells, use ST_GEOGFROM(ST_ASGEOJSON(geog). In this process, BigQuery will add intermediate points to preserve the geodesic curves.
S2_CENTER
Description
Returns a POINT corresponding to the centroid of an S2 cell, given its ID.
id: INT64 S2 cell ID to get the boundary geography from.
Return type
GEOGRAPHY
