geoDistance(Geometry left, Geometry right, Decimal Places), Returns the minimum distance between the left geometry and right geometry. |
Function: GeoDistance(Geometry left, Geometry right, Decimal Places)
Returns the minimum distance between left geometry and right geometry.
If passed a string the geometry functions will automatically convert it into a geometry object.
Syntax
geoDistance( geometryValueLeft, geometryValueRight, decimalPlaces )
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| geometryValueLeft | WTK String or Geometry Object | Geometry value being used to calculate the distance between the left geometry value and the right geometry value. |
| geometryValueRight | WTK String or Geometry Object | Geometry value being used to calculate the distance between the left geometry value and the right geometry value. |
| decimalPlaces | Integer | The 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
geoDisjoint( "POLYGON ((30 10, 40 40, 20 40, 10 20, 30 10))", "POLYGON ((35 10, 45 45, 15 40, 10 20, 35 10))" )...
