lwgeom_tcpa()

double lwgeom_tcpa	(	const LWGEOM *	g1,
		const LWGEOM *	g2,
		double *	mindist
	)

Find the time of closest point of approach.

Parameters

mindist

if not null will be set to the minimum distance between the trajectories at the closest point of approach.

Returns

the time value in which the minimum distance was reached, -1 if inputs are invalid (lwerror is called in that case), -2 if the trajectories do not share any point in time.
