geoIntersection

Function: geoIntersection(Geometry left, Geometry right)

Computes a geometry representing the point-set which is common to both the left geometry and the right geometry.

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

Syntax

geoIntersection( geometryValueLeft, geometryValueRight 

ArgumentTypeDescription
geometryValueLeft

WTK String or

Geometry Object

Geometry value being used to calculate the intersection with geometryValueRight.

geometryValueRight 

WTK String or

Geometry Object

The geometry being checked.

Examples

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

Returns a Geometry representing the point-set which is common to both the left geometry and the right geometry.
