geoIntersection(Geometry left, Geometry right, Decimal Places), Computes a geometry representing the point-set which is common to both the left geometry and the right geometry.

Function: geoIntersection(Geometry left, Geometry right, Decimal Places)

Computes a Geometry geometry representing the point-set which is common to both the left Geometry geometry and the right Geometrygeometry.

If passed a string the geometry functions will automatically convert it into a geometry object.

Syntax

geoIntersection( "Well Known Text" Left, "Well Known Text" Right geometryValueLeft, geometryValueRight, decimalPlaces 

...

ArgumentTypeDescription
Well Known Text LeftStringWell known text (WKT) is a text mark-up language for representing vector geometry objects.Well Known Text RightStringWell known text (WKT) is a text mark-up language for representing vector geometry objects.

Examples

geometryValueLeft

WTK String or

Geometry Object

Geometry value being used to calculate the intersection with geometryValueRight.

geometryValueRight 

WTK String or

Geometry Object

The geometry being checked.
decimalPlacesIntegerThe number of decimal places to use in the geometry calculations. Defaults to 0 if not provided. Can also take negative values e.g. -1 uses geometry to the nearest 10.

Examples

geoIntersection("POLYGON ((30 10, 40 40, 20 40, 10 20, 30 10))", "POLYGON ((35 10, 45 45, 15 40, 10 20, 35 10))")

Returns a Geometry representing the point-set which is common to both the left Geometry geometry and the right Geometry as a Stringgeometry.
