[postgis-users] Geometry operation: split polygon using a linestring

[Nicklas Avén]

The new ST_Split function can also be tested at postgisonline.org.

If you add version=trunk to the web address you get a database with postgis 2.0 as it looks in the trunk.

I have used the ST_Split function to show the functionality. It is not yet in the documentation of the site how to get the trunk version but there is a very small tutorial here:
