Name
ST_Shift_Longitude — Reads every point/vertex in every component of every feature in a geometry, and if the longitude coordinate is <0, adds 360 to it. The result would be a 0-360 version of the data to be plotted in a 180 centric map
Synopsis
geometry ST_Shift_Longitude(geometry geomA);
Description
Reads every point/vertex in every component of every feature in a geometry, and if the longitude coordinate is <0, adds 360 to it. The result would be a 0-360 version of the data to be plotted in a 180 centric map
![[Note]](images/note.png) | |
This is only useful for data in long lat e.g. 4326 (WGS 84 long lat) |
Pre-1.3.4 bug prevented this from working for MULTIPOINT. 1.3.4+ works with MULTIPOINT as well.
This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.
Enhanced: 2.0.0 support for Polyhedral surfaces and TIN was introduced.
This function supports Polyhedral surfaces.
This function supports Triangles and Triangulated Irregular Network Surfaces (TIN).
