<div dir="ltr">Hey sorry for being unclear.<br><br><div>I put you a pseudo code and some explanation :</div><div><ul><li>first you work with real world data (observation, measure), which are of a given precision (showing the uncertainty of the measure).<br>
If your data are real world observation ,they may be precise up to the centimeter, the meter , whatever. So there is no significance of keeping XXX digits after the comma.</li><li>Second about translating : for your computer manipulating a number like 650254,2354 is not the same as manipulating a number like 254,2354.<br>
Numbers are represented with double precision, which can be precise up to<b> 15 digits </b>thanks to postgres. Keeping the number of digits low in your coordinates "free" some precision for computing. You can translate by any number as long as it reduce the number of digits in the coordinates. <br>
You can also manually translate like : x := x - 859 ; y:= y - 87426.</li><li>Third : about ST_ClosestPoint : if you point are a result of a previous computing, they are already of limited precision, thus you have to compensate this by manually putting the points onto the lines (using ST_ClosestPoint will give you a new point corresponding to old point projected onto line).</li>
</ul></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Here is the pseudo code</div><div><br></div><div>--if your data are of limited precision (always the case ! )</div><div>snap to grid (your data precision)</div><div><br></div>
<div>--before computation</div><div>translate everyting (-(min_x+max_x)/2, -(min_y+max_y)/2)</div><div><br></div><div>--computation : do your spatial test</div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px">
<div>--if precision issue not solved, use ST_ClosestPoint to project your point onto lines</div><div><br></div></blockquote><div>--after computation </div><div>translate everyting (+(min_x+max_x)/2, +(min_y+max_y)/2)<br>

Finding the closest point (st_closestPoint) or using<br>
