[postgis-users] ST_MinkowskiSum

[Stephen Mather]

I think the tricky part is under certain conditions, it is quite intuitive,
but my intuition must be to simple because then there are real surprises...
.

This is a fun addition though-- although maybe I'll start with the 2D case
and give my brain a rest.

Best,
Steve
