Name
ST_ShiftLongitude — Shifts the longitude coordinates of a geometry between -180..180 and 0..360.
Synopsis
geometry ST_ShiftLongitude(geometry geom);
Description
Reads every point/vertex in a geometry, and shifts its longitude coordinate from -180..0 to 180..360 and vice versa if between these ranges. This function is symmetrical so the result is a 0..360 representation of a -180..180 data and a -180..180 representation of a 0..360 data.

This is only useful for data with coordinates in longitude/latitude; e.g. SRID 4326 (WGS 84 geographic) |

Pre-1.3.4 bug prevented this from working for MULTIPOINT. 1.3.4+ works with MULTIPOINT as well. |
This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.
Enhanced: 2.0.0 support for Polyhedral surfaces and TIN was introduced.
NOTE: this function was renamed from "ST_Shift_Longitude" in 2.2.0
This function supports Polyhedral surfaces.
This function supports Triangles and Triangulated Irregular Network Surfaces (TIN).
Examples
--single point forward transformation
SELECT ST_AsText(ST_ShiftLongitude('SRID=4326;POINT(270 0)'::geometry))
st_astext
----------
POINT(-90 0)
--single point reverse transformation
SELECT ST_AsText(ST_ShiftLongitude('SRID=4326;POINT(-90 0)'::geometry))
st_astext
----------
POINT(270 0)
--for linestrings the functions affects only to the sufficient coordinates
SELECT ST_AsText(ST_ShiftLongitude('SRID=4326;LINESTRING(174 12, 182 13)'::geometry))
st_astext
----------
LINESTRING(174 12,-178 13)
