ST_Polygon(ST_Point,ST_Point) constructor

Creates an axis-aligned rectangle from two points representing the lower-left and upper-right corners.

NEW ST_Polygon(pmin,pmax)

Name	Type	Description
pmin	ST_Point	A point that is the lower-left corner of the rectangle.
pmax	ST_Point	A point that is the upper-right corner of the rectangle.

Returns a rectangle defined as the envelope of two points.

The constructor is equivalent to the following: NEW ST_MultiPoint( pmin, pmax, pmin.ST_SRID() ).ST_Envelope()

By default, ST_Polygon uses the original format for a geometry, if it is available. Otherwise, the internal format is used. For more information about internal and original formats, see STORAGE FORMAT clause, CREATE SPATIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM statement.
