Description
Returns a text summary of the contents of the geometry.
Flags shown square brackets after the geometry type have the following meaning:
-
M: has M ordinate
-
Z: has Z ordinate
-
B: has a cached bounding box
-
G: is geodetic (geography)
-
S: has spatial reference system
This method supports Circular Strings and Curves
This function supports Polyhedral surfaces.
This function supports Triangles and Triangulated Irregular Network Surfaces (TIN).
Availability: 1.2.2
Enhanced: 2.0.0 added support for geography
Enhanced: 2.1.0 S flag to denote if has a known spatial reference system
Enhanced: 2.2.0 Added support for TIN and Curves
