    Is there an existing function to do this? No.
    Is it easy to write such a function? No, not if

    is the simplest algorithm for solving this problem in general terms.

    An interesting problem, though. Would be useful for labelling
    purposes.

        Hello, I need to calculate the biggest rectangle which is
        contained within another polygon. A sort of inner envelope or
        inner bounding box.
        I found this interesting article:

        Is it possible in Postgis?

        I have attached a picture with a example of what I need.
