Name

ST_LineLocatePoint — Renvoie l'emplacement fractionnaire du point le plus proche d'un point sur une ligne.

Synopsis

float8 ST_LineLocatePoint(geometry a_linestring, geometry a_point);

float8 ST_LineLocatePoint(geography a_linestring, geography a_point, boolean use_spheroid = true);

Description

Renvoie un flottant compris entre 0 et 1 représentant l'emplacement du point le plus proche du point donné sur une LineString, en tant que fraction de la ligne 2D longueur.

Vous pouvez utiliser l'emplacement renvoyé pour extraire un point (ST_LineInterpolatePoint) ou une sous-ligne (ST_LineSubstring).

Cette méthode est utile pour calculer approximativement le nombre d'adresses

Disponibilité : 1.1.0

Modifié : 2.1.0. Jusqu'à la version 2.0.x, cette fonction était appelée ST_Line_Locate_Point.

Exemples

--Rough approximation of finding the street number of a point along the street
--Note the whole foo thing is just to generate dummy data that looks
--like house centroids and street
--We use ST_DWithin to exclude
--houses too far away from the street to be considered on the street
SELECT ST_AsText(house_loc) As as_text_house_loc,
        startstreet_num +
                CAST( (endstreet_num - startstreet_num)
                        * ST_LineLocatePoint(street_line, house_loc) As integer) As street_num
