[postgis-users] polygon_edges_numbering

[Nicolas Ribot]

Hi,

Yes, it seems possible:

• First force polygon orientation to be CW: st_forceRHR()
• Then, extract the polygons outer rings (st_exteriorRing) (if
polygons have holes or are multipolygons, you may want to deal with
these cases)
• With st_dumppoints(), you will dump the points forming theses
exteriors (linestrings). It will give you the index of the vertex.
• You will then be able to build edges if you need them
(st_makeLine()), or just number them virtually.
