[postgis-users] fuzzy tolerance

Hi

Why is it that PostGIS has no such concept as a fuzzy tolerance?
Tiny slivers can be a big problem.

In this talk on the FOSS4G in Bonn, this became increasingly clear to me:
http://frab.fossgis-konferenz.de/en/foss4g-2016/public/events/1172
The speaker put a lot of emphasis on the fact that 98% of the coordinates
would be slightly changed when retrieved to a client and saved again. This
would result in many topology errors.

Cheers,
