説明

サーフェス上にあることを保障されたPOINTを返します．

このメソッドは OpenGIS Simple Features Implementation Specification for SQL 1.1.を実装するものです． s3.2.14.2 // s3.2.18.2

このメソッドはSQL/MM仕様の実装です． SQL-MM 3: 8.1.5, 9.5.6. According to the specs, ST_PointOnSurface works for surface geometries (POLYGONs, MULTIPOLYGONS, CURVED POLYGONS). So PostGIS seems to be extending what the spec allows here. Most databases Oracle,DB II, ESRI SDE seem to only support this function for surfaces. SQL Server 2008 like PostGIS supports for all common geometries.

この関数は三次元をサポートします．Zインデクスを削除しません．

例

SELECT ST_AsText(ST_PointOnSurface('POINT(0 5)'::geometry));
 st_astext
------------
 POINT(0 5)
(1 row)

SELECT ST_AsText(ST_PointOnSurface('LINESTRING(0 5, 0 10)'::geometry));
 st_astext
------------
 POINT(0 5)
(1 row)

SELECT ST_AsText(ST_PointOnSurface('POLYGON((0 0, 0 5, 5 5, 5 0, 0 0))'::geometry));
   st_astext
----------------
 POINT(2.5 2.5)
(1 row)

SELECT ST_AsEWKT(ST_PointOnSurface(ST_GeomFromEWKT('LINESTRING(0 5 1, 0 0 1, 0 10 2)')));
   st_asewkt
----------------
 POINT(0 0 1)
(1 row)
