Hi all, I was to extract the '_lines' (path) if the lines are contained or on by a box-like polygon. The result turns wrong if the box-like polygon is changed from a square (x_max = y_max) to a rectangle (x_max <> y_max). Please read the example at the end.
Please also notice that although the _lines #2 is contained by both square and rectangle, it does not appear in both table. I am wondering if it is a bug. Perhapes I did something wrong? regards, Daniel Lau Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Example: _____________________________________________________________________ test=# select * from test; geoid | _lines -------+--------------------------------------- 0 | ((0,0),(1,1)) 1 | ((1,1),(0,0)) 2 | ((833749,820999),(844362,821001)) 3 | ((1000000,1000000),(1000001,1000001)) 4 | ((0,0),(1,1),(3,-1)) (5 rows) test=# select * from test where polygon(pclose(_lines)) @ polygon '(-2,-2),(850000,850000)'; geoid | _lines -------+--------------- 0 | ((0,0),(1,1)) 1 | ((1,1),(0,0)) (2 rows) test=# select * from test where polygon(pclose(_lines)) @ polygon '(-2,-2),(840000,850000)'; geoid | _lines -------+-------- (0 rows) ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
