Name

ST_LocateBetweenElevations — Return a derived geometry (collection) value with elements that intersect the specified range of elevations inclusively. Only 3D, 4D LINESTRINGS and MULTILINESTRINGS are supported.

Synopsis

geometry ST_LocateBetweenElevations(geometry geom_mline, float8 elevation_start, float8 elevation_end);

Description

Return a derived geometry (collection) value with elements that intersect the specified range of elevations inclusively. Only 3D, 3DM LINESTRINGS and MULTILINESTRINGS are supported.

Availability: 1.4.0

This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.

Examples

SELECT ST_AsEWKT(ST_LocateBetweenElevations(
			ST_GeomFromEWKT('LINESTRING(1 2 3, 4 5 6)'),2,4)) As ewelev;
								   ewelev
----------------------------------------------------------------
	MULTILINESTRING((1 2 3,2 3 4))

SELECT ST_AsEWKT(ST_LocateBetweenElevations(
			ST_GeomFromEWKT('LINESTRING(1 2 6, 4 5 -1, 7 8 9)'),6,9)) As ewelev;

				ewelev
----------------------------------------------------------------
GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(POINT(1 2 6),LINESTRING(6.1 7.1 6,7 8 9))

--Geometry collections are difficult animals so dump them
--to make them more digestable
