[postgis-users] Visualize sp-GiST index structure

[Felix Kunde]

Hi there,
 
I'm trying to use Gevel to print the structure of my sp-GiST indexes. For GiST, it works fine as descibed here: https://gist.github.com/Komzpa/f9e1c241d1d2a27cf5a4f985f646f8a6
But for spgist_print I'm getting error with the leaf_values.
 
SELECT 
  ST_SetSRID(replace(prefix::text, '2DF', '')::box2d::geometry, 4326) as geom,
  tid, allthesame, node_n, level, tid_pointer, node_label, leaf_value
FROM
 spgist_print('pts16_spgist') as t
        (
            tid tid,
            allthesame bool,
            node_n int, 
            level int, 
            tid_pointer tid, 
            prefix box2df, 
            node_label int,
            leaf_value geometry
        );
 
ERROR: Unknown geometry type: 1128379426 - Invalid type

As long as I only select levels where leaf_value is null it works.
Was hoping I could get an unterstanding how the index is structured by looking only at the prefix boxes, but they are so small an only lie in the center of my dataset. I've attached a file, where I have copied the prefixes of the first three levels. At level 4, I'm getting errors.

Has anybody already tried this before?

Cheers,
Felix
