[postgis-users] Parallel linestring

[Olivier Leprêtre]

Hi

 

I would appreciate to get some suggestions to detect and convert
semi-parallel linestring. I have Y shaped linestrings composed of two
linestrings with a common part. My goal is to detect that there are two
lines composing the Y trunk, merging them into a new one (or keeping only
one of them) and placing a new node at the Y center, to get a result
composed of three linestrings, one trunk and two branches. Lines have the
same starting point at the bottom of the Y. 

 

I tried to use toTopogeom but this does not help so far as it does not
create a topopology when lines are parallels and close (0,03 meters as an
example).

 

Any idea to detect the parallel part would be appreciated.

 

Thanks !

 

Olivier
