Name

Topology_Load_Tiger — Loads a defined region of tiger data into a PostGIS Topology and transforming the tiger data to spatial reference of the topology and snapping to the precision tolerance of the topology.

Synopsis

text Topology_Load_Tiger(varchar topo_name, varchar region_type, varchar region_id);

説明

Loads a defined region of tiger data into a PostGIS Topology. The faces, nodes and edges are transformed to the spatial reference system of the target topology and points are snapped to the tolerance of the target topology. The created faces, nodes, edges maintain the same ids as the original Tiger data faces, nodes, edges so that datasets can be in the future be more easily reconciled with tiger data. Returns summary details about the process.

This would be useful for example for redistricting data where you require the newly formed polygons to follow the center lines of streets and for the resulting polygons not to overlap.

[Note]

This function relies on Tiger data as well as the installation of the PostGIS topology module. For more information, refer to Chapter 11, トポロジ and Section 2.4.1, “コンフィギュレーション”. If you have not loaded data covering the region of interest, then no topology records will be created. This function will also fail if you have not created a topology using the topology functions.

[Note]

Most topology validation errors are a result of tolerance issues where after transformation the edges points don't quite line up or overlap. To remedy the situation you may want to increase or lower the precision if you get topology validation failures.

Required arguments:

  1. topo_name The name of an existing PostGIS topology to load data into.

  2. region_type The type of bounding region. Currently only place and county are supported. Plan is to have several more. This is the table to look into to define the region bounds. e.g tiger.place, tiger.county

  3. region_id This is what TIGER calls the geoid. It is the unique identifier of the region in the table. For place it is the plcidfp column in tiger.place. For county it is the cntyidfp column in tiger.county

Example: Boston, Massachusetts Topology

Create a topology for Boston, Massachusetts in Mass State Plane Feet (2249) with tolerance 0.25 feet and then load in Boston city tiger faces, edges, nodes.

SELECT topology.CreateTopology('topo_boston', 2249, 0.25);
