box2d — The type representing a 2-dimensional bounding box.
box2d
is a spatial data type used to represent
the two-dimensional bounding box enclosing a geometry or collection of geometries.
For example, the ST_Extent aggregate function returns a box2d
object.
The representation contains the values xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax
.
These are the minimum and maximum values of the X and Y extents.
box2d
objects have a text representation which looks like BOX(1 2,5 6)
.
