ST_Aggr_ConvexHull

Note:

ST_Geometry in Oracle only

Definition

ST_Aggr_ConvexHull creates a single geometry that is a convex hull of a geometry that resulted from a union of all input geometries. In effect, ST_Aggr_ConvexHull is equivalent to ST_ConvexHull(ST_Aggr_Union(geometries)).

Syntax

sde.st_aggr_convexhull (g1 sde.st_geometry)

Return type

ST_Geometry

Example

The example creates a segments table and executes a SELECT statement that aggregates all the geometries, thereby generating an ST_Geometry representing the convex hull.

CREATE TABLE segments (id integer, shape sde.st_geometry);

INSERT INTO SEGMENTS (id, shape) VALUES (
1,
sde.st_linestring ('linestring (20 20, 30 30, 20 40, 30 50)', 0)
);
 
INSERT INTO SEGMENTS (id, shape) VALUES (
2,
sde.st_linestring ('linestring (5 5, 20 20, 25 30, 30 50)', 0)
);
 
INSERT INTO SEGMENTS (id, shape) VALUES (
3,
sde.st_linestring ('linestring (25 25, 35 35, 25 45, 35 55)', 0)
);

SELECT sde.st_astext(sde.st_aggr_convexhull(shape)) CONVEX_HULL
FROM segments 
WHERE units >= 1000;
