Name

ST_Length2D_Spheroid — Calculates the 2D length/perimeter of a geometry on an ellipsoid. This is useful if the coordinates of the geometry are in longitude/latitude and a length is desired without reprojection.

Synopsis

float ST_Length2D_Spheroid(geometry a_geometry, spheroid a_spheroid);

説明

Calculates the 2D length/perimeter of a geometry on an ellipsoid. This is useful if the coordinates of the geometry are in longitude/latitude and a length is desired without reprojection. The ellipsoid is a separate database type and can be constructed as follows:

SPHEROID[<NAME>,<SEMI-MAJOR AXIS>,<INVERSE FLATTENING>]

SPHEROID["GRS_1980",6378137,298.257222101]

[Note]

This is much like ST_LengthSpheroid except it will ignore the Z ordinate in calculations.
