[postgis-users] polygon_edges_numbering

[Nicolas Ribot]

An example:

with pg_pts_oriented as (

   select st_dumpPoints(
      st_exteriorRing(
         st_forceRHR(
            'POLYGON (( 355 215, 390 220, 403 258, 364 234, 375 277, 326
274, 286 243, 355 215 ))'::geometry
         )
      )
   ) as d
) select (p1.d).path[1] as edge_number, st_makeLine((p1.d).geom,
(p2.d).geom) as edge
from pg_pts_oriented p1,
pg_pts_oriented p2
where (p2.d).path[1] = (p1.d).path[1] + 1;
