ST_3DDWithin

Name

ST_3DDWithin — For 3d (z) geometry type Returns true if two geometries 3d distance is within number of units.

Synopsis

boolean ST_3DDWithin ( geometry g1 , geometry g2 , double precision distance_of_srid ) ;

Description

For geometry type returns true if the 3d distance between two objects is within distance_of_srid specified projected units (spatial ref units).

This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.

This function supports Polyhedral surfaces.

This method implements the SQL/MM specification. SQL-MM ?

Examples

-- Geometry example - units in meters (SRID: 2163 US National Atlas Equal area) (3D point and line compared 2D point and line)
-- Note: currently no vertical datum support so Z is not transformed and assumed to be same units as final.
