I have a series of x/y values that represent towns and a coastline that that is encoded as a Polygon.
I want to return the nearest point on the polygon to a town. I have seen the item http://www.bostongis.com/PrinterFriendly.aspx?content_name=postgis_nearest_neighbor_generic Which seems to be fine if you both objects that your are searching are point data or have a centroid of some type. What is the best solution, turn my coastal outline polygon in to a series of x/y values and use the solution from postgis_nearest_neighbor_generic, or is there some better way? regards Dave. -- Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the sender specifically states them to be the views of the Pinan Software _______________________________________________ postgis-users mailing list [email protected] http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users
