Sounds great. Does Frank need funding for this work? Unfortunately our budget on these matters is used for this year, but possibly available next year.

Hello,

Trying to figure out how to find center using a collection of points.  For example something like this which doesn't work but you get the idea.

SELECT ST_AsText(ST_Centriod(SELECT point_geom FROM pb.pb_statistics WHERE pb_debit=1));

I think I need to make a multipoint geom out of the points and pass that but haven't figure out yet.

Thanks,

Faster than creating a multipoint is to recognize that ST_Centroid()
is just going to return the center of the bbox of the collection
anyways, so you can replace it with.

SELECT ST_Centroid(ST_Extent(point_geom)) FROM pb_statistics WHERE pg_debit =1;

If you want to do it the hard way, then:

SELECT ST_Centroid(ST_Collect(point_geom)) FROM pb_statistics WHERE pg_debit =1;

It occurs to me that, depending on what you want, you might try averaging
the points to get a median, since you don't have a shape, and thus no
concept of area to produce a centroid.

i.e. add them all up and divide by the number of points.

Very nice approach.

Select ST_MakePoint(avg(ST_X(point_teom)), avg(ST_Y(point_geom))) FROM
pb_statistics WHERE pg_debit =1;

Unfortunately, Paul, ST_Centroid returns the center of mass, not the center of the bbox.

SELECT astext(st_centroid(st_collect(column1))),
FROM (values ('POINT(0 0)'),
              ('POINT(0 1)'),
              ('POINT(0 2)'),
              ('POINT(1 0)')) as foo;
       astext
------------------
  POINT(0.25 0.75)
(1 row)

Your second post, taking the avg of the x,y does seem to be the nice approach, and produces the same results as 
ST_Centroid - the center of mass.

SELECT astext(st_makepoint(avg(st_x(column1)), avg(st_y(column1))))
FROM (values ('POINT(0 0)'),
              ('POINT(0 1)'),
              ('POINT(0 2)'),
              ('POINT(1 0)')) as foo;
       astext
------------------
  POINT(0.25 0.75)
(1 row)

If Dustin is after the center of the collection, then something along your first suggestion might be more appropriate.
(taking the center of the extents)

Kevin

This is why I said depending on what you want.

The average provides a weighted result, where a wild point will merely tug
like a point on a bezier frame.  A statistical result.   Putting a bounding
box around the whole thing and computing the center of that, provides an
unweighted geometric result.  Which may be desirable.  Without providing
some means, on a set of points that we have no description of, of ordering a
shape, save order of occurence, the means of computing a centroid is
indeterminate.

Interestingly enough, if the points are evenly spaced in circle with
ordinate points, all three will get the same result.  (Completely
manufactured, I know)  But I doubt that the question would have been raised
if that were the case.

The question is what is the application.

Dustin?

My question, purely out of interest, is which would be faster?  My guess is
the bounding box, with the median coming close on its heels.

Also, am I correct in assuming that a centroid strives to be the point at
which, were a line drawn through it would split the area of the shape
evenly?  If so, is this always possible, and if not, can exceptions be
easily identified?

Hi,
have a problem with a query resulting in a table without a primary key.
Pl suggest a proper SQL
Thanks in anticipation
Ravi

create table coal AS SELECT * from geology where group_='GONDWANA';

>From this SQL a table coal is created from table geology with all its columns
as per the argument group_='GONDWANA'

But the resultant table coal is not having a 'primary key'.
table geology has gid as primary key.

Pl give me a way how I can get a primary key on table coal.


Table geology has (copy pasted from pgadmin)
CREATE TABLE public.geology
(
  gid integer NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('geology_gid_seq'::regclass),
  objectid bigint,
  group_ character varying(35),
  geometry geometry,
  CONSTRAINT geology_pkey PRIMARY KEY (gid),
  CONSTRAINT enforce_dims_geometry CHECK (ndims(geometry) = 2),
  CONSTRAINT enforce_geotype_geometry CHECK (geometrytype(geometry) = 'MULTIPOLYGON'::text OR geometry IS NULL),
  CONSTRAINT enforce_srid_geometry CHECK (srid(geometry) = (-1))
)
WITH (OIDS=FALSE);
ALTER TABLE public.geology OWNER TO postgres;

The query results table coal without primary key (copy pasted from pgadmin)

CREATE TABLE public.coal
(
  gid integer,
  objectid bigint,
  group_ character varying(35),
  geometry geometry
)
WITH (OIDS=FALSE);

Create table "coal" with the correct primary key definition (make the
table defintion the same as the "geology" table) and then

INSERT INTO coal SELECT FROM geology WHERE group_='GONDWANA';

Hi guys,

A bit more difficult, & way out in left field, but if you use PL/R to create a median function for Postgres, you could build your point from the median(X) & (Y) values instead of the average.

Where this would actually lie obviously depends on the distribution of the points. The centroid is most affected by (actually defined by) outlying points, the avg somewhat less & the median less still.

Of course once you have PL/R to play with, you have much more flexibility to look at returning statistics from datasets than just the median.

Cheers,

  Brent Wood

You could use st_multi() to cast them al to multi point:
ST_Multi(geometry)

    Returns the geometry as a MULTI* geometry. If the geometry is
already a MULTI*, it is returned unchanged.

SELECT ST_MULTI(wkb_geometry) FROM table;

Hi All,

I have roads data i run the following  function for creating source and

SELECT assign_vertex_id(table_name, snapping_range, 
geometry_column_name, edge_id_column_name)

now i want lat lon values of each and every start and end(vrtexes) with 
respect to roads data.Can anyone help me to resolve this problem.

Thanks,

I do have 2 simple linestrings which partly have the same geometry (see
attached dump and image). My aim is to detect the common part of these
two linestrings with the following query:

select st_intersection(a.the_geom, b.the_geom), a.myid
from aline1, aline2

But as the result I get a geometrycollection with one POINT and one
LINESTING. I expected one linestring. Is it a bug??
I'll appreciate any hints.

My system:
Postgis 1.4.0
Geos 3.1.1
Postgres 8.3.6

thank you very much ST_MULTI works fine and solves my problem, is there a 
function to cast a MULTIPOINT to POINT?

You can use st_dump for that pupose. Then you will get one row per point in your multipoint. select (st_dump(the_multipoint)).geom from thetable /Nicklas

Could be a bug, or a dimensional collapse.
Try posting the geometries, Martin Davis might have a try
with JTS.
Try also upgrading GEOS.

I confirm a POINT and a LINESTRING in a COLLECTION
is returned by ST_Intersection() with latest version:

POSTGIS="1.5.0SVN" GEOS="3.2.0-CAPI-1.6.0" PROJ="Rel. 4.6.0, 21 Dec 2007" USE_STATS

Martin, how about JTS ?

The problem is the vertex represented only in line 2 between your resulting line and point 'POINT(618971.85092967 251568.179431664) . Because of precision aspects it will never be exactly on the line causing st_intersection find only the point and line to be exactly the same place. /Nicklas

Same result in JTS.

As Nicklas points out, this is a problem of precision.  The software is 
working as designed, but it's not designed to use it to perform 
intersections with a tolerance.

Some more sophisticated approach is required, such as vertex snapping 
the lines to a given tolerance, or perhaps using a narrow buffer and 
some sort of segment-based containment tests.

I think that Frank Wamerdam is working on a DXF in/out driver for OGR
without dependencies.
Not sure if it's out before end of year.
If you anyone has any DXF test samples that would be helpful.
