Nom
ST_LengthSpheroid — Renvoie la longueur/périmètre 2D ou 3D d'une géométrie lon/lat sur un sphéroïde.
Synopsis
float ST_LengthSpheroid(geometry a_geometry, spheroid a_spheroid);
Description
Calculates the length or perimeter of a geometry on a spheroid. This is useful if the coordinates of the geometry are in longitude/latitude and a length is desired without reprojection. The spheroid is specified by a text value as follows:
SPHEROID[<NAME>,<SEMI-MAJOR AXIS>,<INVERSE FLATTENING>]
Par exemple :
SPHEROID["GRS_1980",6378137,298.257222101]
Disponibilité : 1.2.2
Modifié : 2.2.0 Dans les versions précédentes, cette fonction s'appelait ST_Length_Spheroid et avait l'alias ST_3DLength_Spheroid
Cette fonction prend en charge la 3D et ne supprime pas l'indice z.
Exemples
Measure a table geometry directly on a spheroid when the coordinates are stored in longitude and latitude.
SELECT ST_LengthSpheroid(
geometry_column,
'SPHEROID["GRS_1980",6378137,298.257222101]'
)
FROM geometry_table;
This example measures a 2D MultiLineString and each component separately on the same spheroid.
