Function: geoType(Geometry value, Decimal Places)

Returns the name of this geometry's actual class e.g. "Point", "LineString", "Polygon"", "MultiPolygon".

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

Syntax

geoType( geometryValue, decimalPlaces )

Argument

Type

Description

geometryValue

WTK String or

Geometry Object

The geometry the calculation is formed around provided in either data type to determine its geometry class.

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

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