ST_VoronoiLines

Name

ST_VoronoiLines — Returns the boundaries between the cells of the Voronoi diagram constructed from the vertices of a geometry.

Synopsis

geometry ST_VoronoiLines ( g1 geometry , tolerance float8 , extend_to geometry ) ;

Description

ST_VoronoiLines computes a two-dimensional Voronoi diagram from the vertices of the supplied geometry and returns the boundaries between cells in that diagram as a MultiLineString.

Optional parameters:

  • 'tolerance' : The distance within which vertices will be considered equivalent. Robustness of the algorithm can be improved by supplying a nonzero tolerance distance. (default = 0.0)

  • 'extend_to' : If a geometry is supplied as the "extend_to" parameter, the diagram will be extended to cover the envelope of the "extend_to" geometry, unless that envelope is smaller than the default envelope. (default = NULL)

Availability: 2.3.0 - requires GEOS >= 3.5.0.

Examples

Voronoi lines with tolerance of 30 units

SELECT ST_VoronoiLines(geom, 30) As geom
FROM (SELECT 'MULTIPOINT (50 30, 60 30, 100 100,10 150, 110 120)'::geometry As geom ) As g
