ST_RelateMatch

Name

ST_RelateMatch — Returns true if intersectionMattrixPattern1 implies intersectionMatrixPattern2

Synopsis

boolean ST_RelateMatch ( text intersectionMatrix , text intersectionMatrixPattern ) ;

Description

Takes intersectionMatrix and intersectionMatrixPattern and Returns true if the intersectionMatrix satisfies the intersectionMatrixPattern. For more information refer to Section 4.3.6, “Dimensionally Extended 9 Intersection Model (DE-9IM)” .

Availability: 2.0.0 - requires GEOS >= 3.3.0.
