Name

ST_LongestLine — Retorna a linha 3-dimensional mais longa entre duas geometrias

Synopsis

geometry ST_LongestLine(geometry g1, geometry g2);

Descrição

Returns the 2-dimensional longest line between the points of two geometries. The line returned starts on g1 and ends on g2.

The longest line always occurs between two vertices. The function returns the first longest line if more than one is found. The length of the line is equal to the distance returned by ST_MaxDistance.

If g1 and g2 are the same geometry, returns the line between the two vertices farthest apart in the geometry. The endpoints of the line lie on the circle computed by ST_MinimumBoundingCircle.
