Postgis declare a polygon from a text string
In the GIS world, polygons are formed using LinearRings, which are closed LineStrings. To be closed, the start and end points must be identical. So with the GIS convention, a triangle has four points, a square has five points, etc. More here....

GeoDjango dwithin errors when using django.contrib.gis.measure.D

How can I get center of three 3Dpoint in potgreSQl?
PostGIS can't do this (see this enhancement request). The best PostGIS can do is only a 2D centroid (via ST_Centroid(geom)): SELECT ST_AsText(ST_Centroid('MULTIPOINT Z(110 120 10,150 90 8,165 95 11)')); st_astext ------------------------------------------ POINT(141.666666666667 101.666666666667) However, the algorithm for a centroid for points is fairly straightforward.

Pretty bad question my friend. Try to provide SSCCE. If that binary you posted is really an .shp (file with the associated "helper" files such as .shx, .prj, etc), you can use a library such as GeoTools to read the file. Attempting to read the file "by hand" with RandomAccessFile...
Postgis - one circles contains another
postgresql,postgis,coordinate-systems
You have to assign a CRS via Srid to the gps data (I assume they are in WGS84, thus srid 4326), then cast them to geography to enable setting the buffer radiae in meters, and cast them back to geometry for the st_contains function to work Query: SELECT ST_Contains(bigc::geometry,smallc::geometry) as...
Displaying PostGIS Data with Leafletjs
javascript,postgresql,yii2,leaflet,postgis
You didn't set height container. Set in your css file: #map { height: 400px; } And set zoom. Like that: L.tileLayer('https://{s}.tiles.mapbox.com/v3/{id}/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {zoom: 10, ... ...
PostGis invalid geometry
Based on your previous question, ea.region appears to be text that looks like: ((-79.4609576808001,43.9726680183837)) The parse error or your processed data is obvious if you look at the value of your attempt: 'POINT(-79.4609576808001 43.9726680183837)' which is invalid because it has single quotes on each side. This is the same as...
Size of data type Geography(Point, 4326) in PostGIS?
Have a look at ST_Mem_Size. This gives you the size of toast tables, as well, so is more suitable than pg_total_relation_size and other built in Postgres functions, which do not -- although this only applies to larger geometries. Returning to your question, for a point, SELECT ST_Mem_Size(ST_MakePoint(0, 0)); returns 32...
Polygon insertion issue (due to SRID) on Postgres
postgresql,geolocation,geospatial,postgis,sequelize.js
Two things: You can add a geometry column directly in PostGIS 2.0+ just using the ALTER TABLE command. ALTER TABLE foo ADD COLUMN geom Geometry(Polygon,4326) As the error says, the geometry you're creating from JSON lacks the SRID of the column. So you need to ensure it is set. The...
PostgreSQL: ST_GeomFromText(unknown) does not exist
sql,postgresql,function,geolocation,postgis
Point is not a PostGIS type, it's a native Postgresql type. I think you need to make your point column type geometry, then the PostGIS functions will work....
PLPGSQL Function to Calculate Bearing
sql,gis,postgis,plpgsql,postgresql-9.1
In PL/pgSQL it's most effective to do as much as is elegantly possible in basic SQL queries at once. You can largely simplify. I didn't get a definition of the sort order out of your question and left ??? to fill in for you: CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_bearings_from_points(_bgeom geometry)...
django-admin-bootstrapped messing with DateField, TimeField and PointField
javascript,python,twitter-bootstrap,django-admin,postgis
Two problems were describ and sorry for the poor lisibility. So here some answers : 1 - The DateField and Timefield seems to be issued and this will be fix : Fix 168 (last update 3 days ago) 2 - My PointField show up correctly after adding this options to...
Local nominatim openstreemap with Speed limits
openstreetmap,postgis,nominatim
Probably yes, if you modify Nominatim accordingly. That is, importing speedlimit information (the maxspeed tag) into your database and adding it to query results. But there is no trivial way for just activating this feature. Note that Nominatim is a geocoder and not made for querying all kinds of information...
ActiveRecord Subquery Inner Join
ruby,activerecord,postgis,arel,rgeo
Disclamer: I've never used PostGIS First in your final request, it seems like you've missed the WHERE "users"."active" = 1; part. Here is what I'd do: First add a active scope on user (for reusability) scope :active, -> { User.where(active: 1) } Then for the actual query, You can have...
Custom SQL for Geodjango on ForignKey
django,django-models,gis,postgis,geodjango
Since the geometry you're measuring distance to is on UserProfile, it makes sense to query for UserProfile objects and then handle each Item object they own. (The distance is the same for all items owned by a profile.) For example: all_profiles = UserProfile.objects.all() for profile in all_profiles.distance(p).order_by('distance'): for item in...
PostGIS: Create Extension failed
Does your database require either raster or topology support? If not, then you already have spatially enabled your database with the enabler scripts, since postgis_full_version() worked (ignore the NOTICE unless you need this functionality). Note that the CREATE EXTENSION postgis is a different way to install PostGIS, which is not...
What is wrong with this ST_CONTAINS statement PostGIS - Find point in polygon
It looks like you are trying to use ST_Contains on geography types, but that function only works on geometry types. If you are OK with the intersects spatial relation (see DE-9IM), then use ST_Intersects(geography, geography)....
Openlayers-3 WFS-T (Post feature to postgis via geoserver)
postgis,openlayers-3,geoserver,fiware
I figured it out, because the name of the column was geometry i had to set attribute with same name.So what i did is: draw.on('drawend', function(evt) { var feature = evt.feature; feature.set('geometry', feature.getGeometry()); var fid = feature.getId(); var node = format.writeTransaction([feature], null, null, { gmlOptions: {srsName: "EPSG:3857"}, featureNS: "fiware", featureType:...
Postgres preferring costly ST_Intersects() over cheap index
sql,postgresql,openstreetmap,postgis
maybe try something like this..? WITH wy AS ( SELECT * FROM planet_20141222.ways WHERE ((tags->'highway') IS NOT null) AND (lower(tags->'ref') LIKE lower('A8')) ) SELECT DISTINCT wy.id FROM wy, planet_20141222.polygons py WHERE py.id=51477 AND ST_Intersects(py.geom,wy.linestring); ...
How to use ST_GeoHash and ST_MakePoint postgis functions in rails before save?
ruby-on-rails,ruby,postgresql,ruby-on-rails-4,postgis
To generate a point that you can save in a postgis enabled database, you need to generate that point with a factory. What you're doing here: self.geopoint = "ST_MakePoint(#{latitude}, #{longitude})")" #not working is just setting self.geopoint to a string and trying to save it. As your database geopoint field is...
Fluent NHibernate automap PostGIS geometry type
c#,nhibernate,fluent-nhibernate,postgis
I was finally able to resolve this by defining a custom UserTypeConvention, i.e.: using NetTopologySuite.Geometries; using NHibernate.Spatial.Type; public class PostGisPolygonUserTypeConvention : UserTypeConvention<PostGisGeometryType> { public override void Accept(IAcceptanceCriteria<IPropertyInspector> criteria) { criteria.Expect(c => c.Type == typeof(Polygon)); } public override void Apply(IPropertyInstance instance) { // Have to set CustomType to be able to...
Is it possible to select the polygon with the maximum area with a query in GeoDjango or PostGIS?
I am not sure if you can call ST_Area directly in GeoDjango, in conjunction with an aggregate query, but you could use a raw SQL query. For example, using the correct Postgres query, as posted by @MikeT, top_area = ModelName.objects.raw('SELECT * FROM sometable ORDER BY ST_Area(geom) DESC LIMIT 1')[0] ...
MultiPolygon column by migration
ruby-on-rails,postgresql,migration,polygon,postgis
Finally I had to remove then recreate my column: remove_column :messages, :area_shape add_column :messages, :area_shape, :multi_polygon, srid: 3785 I think I can now understand why it's not possible. Indeed, it seems difficult to change a polygon type to a multi_polygon type without losing data logique. If you really need to...
