Name
ST_LengthSpheroid — Returns the 2D or 3D length/perimeter of a lon/lat geometry on a spheroid.
Synopsis
float ST_LengthSpheroid(geometry a_geometry, spheroid a_spheroid);
Descripción
Calculates the length or perimeter of a geometry on an ellipsoid. This is useful if the coordinates of the geometry are in longitude/latitude and a length is desired without reprojection. The spheroid is specified by a text value as follows:
SPHEROID[<NAME
>,<SEMI-MAJOR AXIS
>,<INVERSE FLATTENING
>]
Ejemplos
SPHEROID["GRS_1980",6378137,298.257222101]
Disponibilidad: 1.2.2
Changed: 2.2.0 In prior versions this was called ST_Length_Spheroid and had the alias ST_3DLength_Spheroid
This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.
