Name

ST_IsClosed — Returns TRUE if the LINESTRING's start and end points are coincident.

Synopsis

boolean ST_IsClosed(geometry g);

Description

Returns TRUE if the LINESTRING's start and end points are coincident.

This method implements the OpenGIS Simple Features Implementation Specification for SQL.

This method implements the SQL/MM specification: SQL-MM 3: 7.1.5, 9.3.3

[Note]

SQL-MM defines the result of ST_IsClosed(NULL) to be 0, while PostGIS returns NULL.

This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.

This method supports Circular Strings and Curves
