ST_ShiftLongitude

Name

ST_ShiftLongitude — Shifts a geometry with geographic coordinates between -180..180 and 0..360.

Synopsis

geometry ST_ShiftLongitude ( geometry geomA ) ;

Description

Reads every point/vertex in a geometry, and if the longitude coordinate is <0, adds 360 to it. The result is a 0-360 version of the data to be plotted in a 180 centric map

[Note]

This is only useful for data with coordinates in longitude/latitude; e.g. SRID 4326 (WGS 84 geographic)

[Warning]

Pre-1.3.4 bug prevented this from working for MULTIPOINT. 1.3.4+ works with MULTIPOINT as well.

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

Enhanced: 2.0.0 support for Polyhedral surfaces and TIN was introduced.

NOTE: this function was renamed from "ST_Shift_Longitude" in 2.2.0

This function supports Polyhedral surfaces.

This function supports Triangles and Triangulated Irregular Network Surfaces (TIN).

Examples

--3d points
SELECT ST_AsEWKT(ST_ShiftLongitude(ST_GeomFromEWKT('SRID=4326;POINT(-118.58 38.38 10)'))) As geomA,
    ST_AsEWKT(ST_ShiftLongitude(ST_GeomFromEWKT('SRID=4326;POINT(241.42 38.38 10)'))) As geomb
geomA                             geomB
----------                        -----------
SRID=4326;POINT(241.42 38.38 10) SRID=4326;POINT(-118.58 38.38 10)

--regular line string
SELECT ST_AsText(ST_ShiftLongitude(ST_GeomFromText('LINESTRING(-118.58 38.38, -118.20 38.45)')))

st_astext
----------
LINESTRING(241.42 38.38,241.8 38.45)
