Descrizione

Returns the double-precision (float8) minimum bounding box for the supplied geometry, as a geometry. The polygon is defined by the corner points of the bounding box ((MINX, MINY), (MINX, MAXY), (MAXX, MAXY), (MAXX, MINY), (MINX, MINY)). (PostGIS will add a ZMIN/ZMAX coordinate as well).

I casi degeneri (linee verticali, punti) restituiranno una geometria di dimensione inferiore al POLYGON, cioè POINT o LINESTRING.

Disponibilità: il comportamento nella 1.5.0 è stato cambiato per dare in uscita numeri in precisione doppia anziche float4

Questo metodo implementa le OGC Simple Features Implementation Specification for SQL 1.1. s2.1.1.1

Questo metodo implementa la specifica SQL/MM. SQL-MM 3: 5.1.19
