This module contains functions that computes new geographies by processing existing geographies.

ST_DELAUNAYLINES

ST_DELAUNAYLINES(points)

Description

Calculates the Delaunay triangulation of the points provided. A MultiLineString object is returned.

Input parameters

• points: GEOMETRY MultiPoint input to the Delaunay triangulation.

warning

The maximum number of points typically used to compute Delaunay diagrams is 300,000. This limit ensures efficient computation while maintaining accuracy in delineating regions based on proximity to specified points.

Return type

VARCHAR(MAX)

Example

SELECT carto.ST_DELAUNAYLINES(
  ST_GEOMFROMTEXT(
    'MULTIPOINT((-70.3894720672732 42.9988854818585),(-71.1048188482079 42.6986831053718),(-72.6818783178395 44.1191152795997),(-73.8221894711314 35.1057463244819))'
