[postgis-users] AsSVG() and BOX3D related code in lwgeom_svg.c

[klaus Förster]

thanks strk,

following your proposal i've written a simple plpgsql function (well, 
actually three to provide overriding of arguments as well) to accomplish 
this task. it tries to follow the syntax of AsSVG() with rel and 
precision as optional arguments, takes a valid geometry as first 
argument and returns SVGRect notation with x="minX" y="minY" width="..." 
height="..." as default and SVGViewBox notation with "minX minY width 
height" if you specify rel=1. precision may be specified as optional 
third argument.

Usage: AsSvgBox(geometry,[rel],[precision])
