| # ST_SubDivideExplode |
| |
| Introduction: It works the same as ST_SubDivide but returns new rows with geometries instead of a multi-geometry. |
| |
| A minimum of 5 vertices is required for maxVertices parameter to form a closed box. |
| |
|  |
| |
| Format: ` |
| Return type: `Geometry` |
| |
| SELECT SEDONA.ST_AsText(GEOM) |
| FROM table(SEDONA.ST_SubDivideExplode(geom: geometry, maxVertices: int))` |
| |
| Example: |
| |
| Query: |
| |
| ```sql |
| SELECT Sedona.ST_AsText(GEOM) |
| FROM table(Sedona.ST_SubDivideExplode(Sedona.ST_GeomFromText('LINESTRING(0 0, 85 85, 100 100, 120 120, 21 21, 10 10, 5 5)'), 5)); |
| ``` |
| |
| Result: |
| |
| ``` |
| +-----------------------------+ |
| |geom | |
| +-----------------------------+ |
| |LINESTRING(0 0, 5 5) | |
| |LINESTRING(5 5, 10 10) | |
| |LINESTRING(10 10, 21 21) | |
| |LINESTRING(21 21, 60 60) | |
| |LINESTRING(60 60, 85 85) | |
| |LINESTRING(85 85, 100 100) | |
| |LINESTRING(100 100, 120 120) | |
| +-----------------------------+ |
