ST_Tesselate is deprecated as of 3.5.0. Use CG_Tesselate instead. |
Takes as input a surface such a MULTI(POLYGON) or POLYHEDRALSURFACE and returns a TIN representation via the process of tessellation using triangles.

ST_TriangulatePolygon does similar to this function except that it returns a geometry collection of polygons instead of a TIN and also only works with 2D geometries. |
Disponibilidad: 2.1.0
This method needs SFCGAL backend.
This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.
This function supports Polyhedral surfaces.
This function supports Triangles and Triangulated Irregular Network Surfaces (TIN).
