Name

ST_GetFaceEdges — Returns a set of ordered edges that bound aface includes the sequence order.

Synopsis

getfaceedges_returntype ST_GetFaceEdges(varchar atopology, integer aface);

Description

Returns a set of ordered edges that bound aface includes the sequence order. Each output consists of a sequence and edgeid. Sequence numbers start with value 1.

Enumeration of each ring edges start from the edge with smallest identifier.

Availability: 2.0

This method implements the SQL/MM specification. SQL-MM 3 Topo-Geo and Topo-Net 3: Routine Details: X.3.5

Examples

-- Returns the edges bounding face 1
SELECT (topology.ST_GetFaceEdges('tt', 1)).*;
-- result --
 sequence | edge
----------+------
        1 |   -4
        2 |    5
        3 |    7
        4 |   -6
        5 |    1
        6 |    2
        7 |    3
(7 rows)
-- Returns the sequenc, edge id
-- , and geometry of the edges that bound face 1
-- If you just need geom and seq, can use ST_GetFaceGeometry
SELECT t.seq, t.edge, geom
FROM topology.ST_GetFaceEdges('tt',1) As t(seq,edge)
	INNER JOIN tt.edge AS e ON abs(t.edge) = e.edge_id;
