Name

ST_Zmflag — Returns a code indicating the ZM coordinate dimension of a geometry.

Synopsis

smallint ST_Zmflag ( geometry geomA ) ;

Description

Returns a code indicating the ZM coordinate dimension of a geometry.

Values are: 0 = 2D, 1 = 3D-M, 2 = 3D-Z, 3 = 4D.

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

This method supports Circular Strings and Curves.
