Spatial Operators
OpenGIS proposes a number of other functions that can produce geometries. They are designed to implement spatial operators.
These functions are not implemented in MySQL.
Buffer(
g
,d
)Returns a geometry that represents all points whose distance from the geometry value
g
is less than or equal to a distance ofd
.ConvexHull(
g
)Returns a geometry that represents the convex hull of the geometry value
g
.Difference(
g1
,g2
)Returns a geometry that represents the point set difference of the geometry value
g1
withg2
.Intersection(
g1
,g2
)Returns a geometry that represents the point set intersection of the geometry values
g1
withg2
.SymDifference(
g1
,g2
)Returns a geometry that represents the point set symmetric difference of the geometry value
g1
withg2
.Union(
g1
,g2
)Returns a geometry that represents the point set union of the geometry values
g1
andg2
