説明

Computes the geometric center of a geometry, or equivalently, the center of mass of the geometry as a POINT. For [MULTI]POINTs, this is computed as the arithmetic mean of the input coordinates. For [MULTI]LINESTRINGs, this is computed as the weighted length of each line segment. For [MULTI]POLYGONs, "weight" is thought in terms of area. If an empty geometry is supplied, an empty GEOMETRYCOLLECTION is returned. If NULL is supplied, NULL is returned. If CIRCULARSTRING or COMPOUNDCURVE are supplied, they are converted to linestring wtih CurveToLine first, then same than for LINESTRING

New in 2.3.0 : support CIRCULARSTRING and COMPOUNDCURVE (using CurveToLine)

重心は、最も高い次元のジオメトリの要素の集合の重心と同じです (低い次元のジオメトリは「重み」0に貢献するため)。

This method implements the OpenGIS Simple Features Implementation Specification for SQL 1.1.

This method implements the SQL/MM specification. SQL-MM 3: 8.1.4, 9.5.5

例

次に示す図では、青点が入力ジオメトリの重心です。

MULTIPOINTの重心	LINESTRINGの重心
POLYGONの重心	GEOMETRYCOLLECTIONの重心
