Name

ST_MinimumBoundingRadius — Returns the center point and radius of the smallest circle that contains a geometry.

Synopsis

(geometry, double precision) ST_MinimumBoundingRadius(geometry geom);

Descripción

Computes the center point and radius of the smallest circle that contains a geometry. Returns a record with fields:

  • center - center point of the circle

  • radius - radius of the circle

Use with ST_Collect to get the minimum bounding circle of a set of geometries.

To compute two points lying on the minimum circle (the "maximum diameter") use ST_LongestLine.
