[postgis-devel] New function ST_MinimumDiameter() ?

[Stefan Keller]

Hi Regina and Paul

I'd like to use function ST_MinimumDiameter() in PostGIS which
obviously is not yet ported from GEOS.
Are there potentially other nice functions like this, which could be
made available in PostGIS?
Should I try to make a list?

Yours, S.
