8.8 Postgis Function Support Matrix: ST - Translate

This document provides a matrix that summarizes PostGIS spatial function support for different geometry types, including 2D, 3D, curves, and geography types. It lists common PostGIS functions and indicates whether they support each type natively, with casting, or for some types based on auto-casting to another type like box3d. The matrix provides an overview of spatial type compatibility with the various functions in PostGIS.

ST_Translate - Translates the geometry to a new location using the numeric parameters as offsets. Ie: ST_Translate(geom, X,
Y) or ST_Translate(geom, X, Y,Z).
ST_XMax - Returns X maxima of a bounding box 2d or 3d or a geometry.
ST_XMin - Returns X minima of a bounding box 2d or 3d or a geometry.
ST_YMax - Returns Y maxima of a bounding box 2d or 3d or a geometry.
ST_YMin - Returns Y minima of a bounding box 2d or 3d or a geometry.
ST_ZMax - Returns Z minima of a bounding box 2d or 3d or a geometry.
ST_ZMin - Returns Z minima of a bounding box 2d or 3d or a geometry.
ST_Zmflag - Returns ZM (dimension semantic) flag of the geometries as a small int. Values are: 0=2d, 1=3dm, 2=3dz, 3=4d.
UpdateGeometrySRID - Updates the SRID of all features in a geometry column, geometry_columns metadata and srid table
constraint

8.8 PostGIS Function Support Matrix


Below is an alphabetical listing of spatial specific functions in PostGIS and the kinds of spatial types they work with or OGC/SQL
compliance they try to conform to.

means the function works with the type or subtype natively.

A
means it works but with a transform cast built-in using cast to geometry, transform to a "best srid" spatial ref and
then cast back. Results may not be as expected for large areas or areas at poles and may accumulate floating point junk.
A
means the function works with the type because of a auto-cast to another such as to box3d rather than direct type
support.
