GetNodeByPoint — Finds the node-id of a node at a point location.
integer GetNodeByPoint(
varchar atopology, geometry apoint, float8 tol1)
;
Retrieves the id of a node at a point location.
The function returns an integer (id-node) given a topology, a POINT and a tolerance. If tolerance = 0 means exact intersection, otherwise retrieves the node from an interval.
If apoint
doesn't intersect a node, returns 0 (zero).
If use tolerance > 0 and there is more than one node near the point then an exception is thrown.
If tolerance = 0, the function uses ST_Intersects otherwise uses ST_DWithin. |
