#5749: Documentation bug: Wrong example in ST_IsSimple
-----------------------+---------------------------
Reporter: lukaseder | Owner: pramsey
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: medium | Milestone: PostGIS 3.4.3
Component: postgis | Version: 3.4.x
Keywords: |
-----------------------+---------------------------
The first example in the documentation page for ST_IsSimple is wrong:
https://postgis.net/docs/ST_IsSimple.html
{{{
SELECT ST_IsSimple(ST_GeomFromText('POLYGON((1 2, 3 4, 5 6, 1 2))'));
st_issimple
-------------
t
(1 row)
}}}
The result is false for this polygon as all the points are on one line.
This would be a better example:
{{{
SELECT ST_IsSimple(ST_GeomFromText('POLYGON((0 0, 0 1, 1 1, 0 0))'));
}}}
