List of static methods

The following is a list of all static methods available for use with spatial data. An X in the Round-Earth column indicates that the method is also supported on round-Earth spatial reference systems. The SQL/MM column reflects compliance with the SQL/MM standard (ISO/IEC 13249-3: 2006).
