Name

ST_CollectionExtract — Given a geometry collection, returns a multi-geometry containing only elements of a specified type.

Synopsis

geometry ST_CollectionExtract(geometry collection);

geometry ST_CollectionExtract(geometry collection, integer type);

Descrizione

Given a geometry collection, returns a homogeneous multi-geometry.

Se il tipo non è specificato, restituisce una multigeometria contenente solo geometrie della dimensione più alta. Quindi i poligoni sono preferiti alle linee, che sono preferite ai punti.

Se è specificato il tipo , restituisce una multigeometria contenente solo quel tipo. Se non ci sono sottogeometrie del tipo giusto, viene restituita una geometria VUOTA. Sono supportati solo punti, linee e poligoni. I numeri di tipo sono:

  • 1 == POINT

  • 2 == LINESTRING

  • 3 == POLYGON

For atomic geometry inputs, the geometry is retured unchanged if the input type matches the requested type. Otherwise, the result is an EMPTY geometry of the specified type. If required, these can be converted to multi-geometries using ST_Multi.

[Warning]

MultiPolygon results are not checked for validity. If the polygon components are adjacent or overlapping the result will be invalid. (For example, this can occur when applying this function to an ST_Split result.) This situation can be checked with ST_IsValid and repaired with ST_MakeValid.

Disponibilità: 1.5.0

[Note]

Prior to 1.5.3 this function returned atomic inputs unchanged, no matter type. In 1.5.3 non-matching single geometries returned a NULL result. In 2.0.0 non-matching single geometries return an EMPTY result of the requested type.

Esempi

Extract highest-dimension type:

SELECT ST_AsText(ST_CollectionExtract(
        'GEOMETRYCOLLECTION( POINT(0 0), LINESTRING(1 1, 2 2) )'));
    st_astext
    ---------------
    MULTILINESTRING((1 1, 2 2))

Extract points (type 1 == POINT):

SELECT ST_AsText(ST_CollectionExtract(
        'GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(POINT(0 0)))',
        1 ));
    st_astext
    ---------------
    MULTIPOINT((0 0))

Extract lines (type 2 == LINESTRING):

SELECT ST_AsText(ST_CollectionExtract(
        'GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(LINESTRING(0 0, 1 1)),LINESTRING(2 2, 3 3))',
        2 ));
    st_astext
    ---------------
    MULTILINESTRING((0 0, 1 1), (2 2, 3 3))
