text AsGML(topogeometry tg, regclass visitedTable, text nsprefix);

text AsGML(topogeometry tg, text nsprefix_in, integer precision, integer options);

text AsGML(topogeometry tg, text nsprefix_in, integer precision, integer options, regclass visitedTable);

text AsGML(topogeometry tg, text nsprefix_in, integer precision, integer options, regclass visitedTable, text idprefix);

text AsGML(topogeometry tg, text nsprefix_in, integer precision, integer options, regclass visitedTable, text idprefix, int gmlversion);

Description

Returns the GML representation of a topogeometry in version GML3 format. If no nsprefix_in is specified then gml is used. Pass in an empty string for nsprefix to get a non-qualified name space. The precision (default: 15) and options (default 1) parameters, if given, are passed untouched to the underlying call to ST_AsGML.

The visitedTable parameter, if given, is used for keeping track of the visited Node and Edge elements so to use cross-references (xlink:xref) rather than duplicating definitions. The table is expected to have (at least) two integer fields: 'element_type' and 'element_id'. The calling user must have both read and write privileges on the given table. For best performance, an index should be defined on element_type and element_id, in that order. Such index would be created automatically by adding a unique constraint to the fields. Example:

CREATE TABLE visited (
  element_type integer, element_id integer,
  unique(element_type, element_id)
);

The idprefix parameter, if given, will be prepended to Edge and Node tag identifiers.

The gmlver parameter, if given, will be passed to the underlying ST_AsGML. Defaults to 3.
