<b>Betreff:</b> Re: [postgis-users] PostGIS new geometry type with defined precision?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">JTS already provided a mechanism to specify a precision for geometry, and this is respected by a number of operations as well (notably the overlay operations intersection et al and buffer - but not the spatial predicates, yet). GEOS should
provide this as well, or is close to doing so. And I'm currently working on a new implementation of overlay to improve robustness, which will improve fixed precision computation as well. <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The issue of handling fixed precision for predicates is a good question. I have an algorithm in the conceptual stages for this. But it may be difficult to make it consistent with the overlay operations on a performant way. I intend to
write up a survey of the options soon.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">My current thinking is that precision will be specified as a parameter to geometry operations. No new type will be required. It might be nice to have precision specified in column metadata somehow, but not sure how this could work <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Can you describe how the operations like Intersection should behave in such type? E.g. if you have a type with 0 decimals (say), and have a line going from (0,0) to (1,1) intersect with a line going from (1, 0) to (0, 1) - what is the intersection
point that is going to be reported? Will that ST_Intersection in turn ST_Intersects=true with original point?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">There are a number of such requests across the years but nobody seems to propose a working algebra for such type, and without it it's not going to get implemented.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">How can a precision be assigned to a geometry, e.g. a point/line/polygon to 3 decimals, in order that any input/output will be given in that precision (without usage of rounding functions like snap2grid)<br>
How can the problem be tackeld? Shall we request to include new types? Or shall we rather let develop a new feature?<br>
<br>
I guess we are not the first users facing this problem.<br>
