The ST_ConvexHullAggr method considers all of the points in the group of geometries it is computed over and returns the convex
hull of all these points. The convex hull of a geometry is the smallest convex geometry that contains all of the points in
the geometry.
The convex hull may be visualized by imagining an elastic band stretched to enclose all of the points in the geometry. When
released, the elastic band takes the shape of the convex hull.
If the geometries in the group consist of a single point, the point is returned. If all of the points of the group of geometries
lie on a single straight line segment, a linestring is returned. Otherwise, a convex polygon is returned.
The convex hull can serve as an approximation of the original geometry. When testing a spatial relationship, the convex hull
can serve as a quick pre-filter because if there is no spatial intersection with the convex hull then there can be no intersection
with the original geometry.
Note
ST_ConvexHullAggr is not supported on geometries which contain circularstrings.
Note
This method can not be used with geometries in round-Earth spatial reference system.
