[postgis-users] polygon of sphere

Nope, there isn't. In fact, such a thing will give us the shakes as
our code for determining in/out status  of an object depends on first
being able to generate one point that is definitively outside the
containing area.  Maybe there is some other way to skin your cat, what
is the higher level problem you are trying to solve?
