Name

ST_LineSubstring — Returns the part of a line between two fractional locations.

Synopsis

geometry ST_LineSubstring(geometry a_linestring, float8 startfraction, float8 endfraction);

geography ST_LineSubstring(geography a_linestring, float8 startfraction, float8 endfraction);

Descrição

Computes the line which is the section of the input line starting and ending at the given fractional locations. The first argument must be a LINESTRING. The second and third arguments are values in the range [0, 1] representing the start and end locations. For geometry inputs, the fractions are measured in 2D line length. The Z and M values are interpolated for added endpoints if present.

Se "início" e "fim" tiverem o mesmo valor, isso é equivalente a ST_LineInterpolatePoint.

[Note]

This only works with LINESTRINGs. To use on contiguous MULTILINESTRINGs first join them with ST_LineMerge.

[Note]

Desde a liberação 1.1.1 essa função também interpola valores M e Z (quando presentes), enquanto as liberações anteriores configura eles para valores não específicos.

Enhanced: 3.4.0 - Support for geography was introduced.

Alterações: 2.1.0 para 2.0.x foi chamada ST_Line_Substring.

Disponibilidade: 1.1.0, Suporte a Z e M adicionado em 1.1.1

This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.

Exemplos

Uma linestring vista com 1/3 coberto (0.333, 0.666)

SELECT ST_AsText(ST_LineSubstring(
    'LINESTRING (20 180, 50 20, 90 80, 120 40, 180 150)',
    0.333,
    0.666));
LINESTRING (45.17311810399485 45.74337011202746, 50 20, 90 80, 112.97593050157862 49.36542599789519)

If start and end locations are the same, the result is a POINT.

SELECT ST_AsText(ST_LineSubstring(
    'LINESTRING(25 50, 100 125, 150 190)',
    0.333,
    0.333));

A query to cut a LineString into sections of length 100 or shorter. It uses generate_series() with a CROSS JOIN LATERAL to produce the equivalent of a FOR loop.

WITH data(id, geom) AS (VALUES
        ( 'A', 'LINESTRING( 0 0, 200 0)'::geometry ),
        ( 'B', 'LINESTRING( 0 100, 350 100)'::geometry ),
        ( 'C', 'LINESTRING( 0 200, 50 200)'::geometry )
    )
SELECT id, i,
       ST_AsText(ST_LineSubstring(geom, startfrac, LEAST( endfrac, 1 )) ) AS geom
FROM (
    SELECT id, geom, ST_Length(geom) len, 100 sublen FROM data
    ) AS d
CROSS JOIN LATERAL (
    SELECT i, (sublen * i) / len AS startfrac,
              (sublen * (i+1)) / len AS endfrac
    FROM generate_series(0, floor( len / sublen )::integer ) AS t(i)
    -- skip last i if line length is exact multiple of sublen
    WHERE (sublen * i) / len <
> 1.0
    ) AS d2;

For geometry inputs, the fractional locations are based on the 2D length of the line, even when the input has Z values. The resulting Z values are interpolated along the selected 2D location.

WITH data AS (
          SELECT 'LINESTRING Z (0 0 0, 0 2 5, 0 10 10)'::geometry AS geom
        )
        SELECT ST_Length(geom) AS length_2d,
