Hi list.
Is there a way to obtain the minimum rectangle containing a geometry?
With ST_Envelope I get a rectangle, but is not the one with the
minimum area...
You mean a possibli rotated rectangle ?

Yeah, exactly.
Maybe I can obtain it using a succession of functions already
implemented like ST_ConvexHull, ST_ShoortestLine, ST_LongestLine....
But I don't know the algorithm to use, just guessing...
I saw also the routine ST_MinimumBoundingCircle, maybe I need a
simplified version of that...
Any hints?
