#3139 closed enhancement (fixed)

ST_BoundingDiagonal(geom geometry, fits boolean default false) return linestring geometry

Reported by: strk Owned by: strk
Priority: high Milestone: PostGIS 2.2.0
Component: postgis Version: master
Keywords: history Cc:

Description

A function returning a 2-points LINESTRING representing the minimum and maximum values of all dimensions (first point holding minimum values, last point holding maximum values).

The second parameter specifies if the range should be precise or an approximation is allowed. Approximated range would be still guaranteed to fully cover the input geometry.

For rationale, see here: ​https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/postgis-devel/2015-May/024906.html

Don't like this name or anything with fix.

ST_Nagonal is my preferred at the moment:

Well first thing I'm gonna do is deprecate that name :)
