Function: geoGetY(Geometry value, Decimal Places)

Returns the 'first' y coordinate.

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

Syntax

geoGetY( geometryValue, decimalPlaces )

Argument

Type

Description

geometryValue

WTK String or

Geometry Object

The geometry used to calculate the first Y coordinate.

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

geoGetY("POLYGON ((30 10, 40 40, 20 40, 10 20, 30 10))")
