Name

ST_LineLocatePoint — Returns the fractional location of the closest point on a line to a point.

Synopsis

float8 ST_LineLocatePoint(geometry a_linestring, geometry a_point);

float8 ST_LineLocatePoint(geography a_linestring, geography a_point, boolean use_spheroid = true);

Descrição

Retorna um flutuador entre 0 e 1 representando a localização do ponto mai próximo na linestring do ponto dado, como uma fração de uma 2d line de comprimento total.

Você pode usar a localização retornada para extrair um ponto (ST_LineInterpolatePoint) ou uma substring (ST_LineSubstring).

Isso é útil para aproximar números de endereços

Disponibilidade: 1.1.0

Alterações: 2.1.0 para 2.0.x foi chamada ST_Line_Locate_Point.

Exemplos

--Rough approximation of finding the street number of a point along the street
--Note the whole foo thing is just to generate dummy data that looks
--like house centroids and street
--We use ST_DWithin to exclude
--houses too far away from the street to be considered on the street
SELECT ST_AsText(house_loc) As as_text_house_loc,
        startstreet_num +
                CAST( (endstreet_num - startstreet_num)
