missing functions docs

[mjurce]

st_startPoint, st_endPoint and st_forceCurve functions has curved geoms support but is not documented.

Hmm which version of PostGIS are you running? Supposedly ST_ForceCurve is a new function in 2.2

[mjurce]

Yes, st_forceCurve should be in 2.2. Found #2430.

[robe]

okay flagged ST_ForceCurve at r12484

[robe]

ST_StartPoint and ST_EndPoint flagged for 2.2 as working with CIRCULARLINESTRING — doesn't seem to work for compoundcurve unfortunately. at r12485

I'll update the 2.1 docs once I've verified.

I would like to work on this, can anyone guide me from where to start?

sunveersingh,

To work on the docs, you'd edit the corresponding docs — for this case the st_startPoint, st_endPoint etc. are in the file ​https://svn.osgeo.org/postgis/trunk/doc/reference_accessor.xml

You can check out the code from any of our mirrors listed here or the tar ball is fine too

​https://postgis.net/source/

Make your changes to the trunk branch (3.0) and we'll back port changes if we feel they can be backported.

Ideally you should provide us the patch in standard patch format and attach to the corresponding ticket.

We also accept contributions via pull requests on any of our git mirrors listed on this page.

Let me know if you need any clarification on the above.
