<pre>>I'm sure this is a common problem, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do it in PostGIS.<br>>I want to simplify a representation of borders. Specifically, we have divided an area into "zones", and <br>
>we currently have a polygon* for each zone. The zones cover 100% of the "region", i.e. they divide the "region." <br>>The whole region is divided into zones.<br>>The polygons are stored independently, as a polygon geometry. My first question is how to ensure the border <br>
>of one polygon matches the border of the adjacent polygon? That is, there should be no overlap <br>>or underlap (slivers). I think there's a system with buffering (to remove underlap a.k.a. slivers) and <br>>then ST_Intersection (to remove overlap). But I'm not sure of the right sequence or if there's a better system. <br>
>Isn't there a geometry class (or something) that stores the border once instead of for each polygon separately? <br><br>Hi,<br><br>I think you are speaking of the topology.<br><br>There is available a topology extension for postgis in the svn.<br>
