geoEqualsExact

Function: geoEqualsExact(Geometry left, Geometry right, Double tolerance, Decimal Places)

Returns true if the two geometries are exactly equal, up to a specified distance tolerance.

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

Syntax

geoEqualsExact( geometryValueLeftgeometryValueRight, tolerance, decimalPlaces ) 

ArgumentTypeDescription
geometryValueLeft

WTK String or

Geometry Object

Geometry value being used to calculate if it equals the geometryValueRight.
geometryValueRight

WTK String or

Geometry Object

Geometry value being used to calculate if it equals the geometryValueLeft.
TolerancedoubleDefines the allowable tolerance between the two values for the function to return a true value. 
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

geoEqualsExact("POLYGON ((30 10, 40 40, 20 40, 10 20, 30 10))", "POLYGON ((35 10, 45 45, 15 40, 10 20, 35 10))", 100)

Returns a Boolean true if the two geometries are exactly equal, up to a specified distance tolerance.
