Function: geoEnvelope(Geometry value, Decimal Places)

Returns a geometry representing the envelope (rectangular bounding box) of the provided geometry.

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

Syntax

geoEnvelope( geometryValue, decimalPlaces)

Argument

Type

Description

geometryValue

WTK String or

Geometry Object

The geometry used in the function to calculate its envelope (rectangular bounding box).

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

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

Returns a Geometry representing the envelope (rectangular bounding box) of the provided geometry.
