ST_ToCurvePoly method

geometry-expression.ST_ToCurvePoly()

ST_CurvePolygon If the geometry-expression is of type ST_CurvePolygon, return the geometry-expression. If the geometry-expression is a geometry collection with a single element of type ST_CurvePolygon, return that element. If the geometry-expression is the empty set, return an empty set of type ST_CurvePolygon. Otherwise, raise an exception condition.
The spatial reference system identifier of the result is the same as the spatial reference system of the geometry-expression.

If geometry-expression is already known to be an ST_CurvePolygon value, it is more efficient to use TREAT( geometry-expression AS ST_CurvePolygon ) than the ST_ToCurvePoly method.

Note

By default, ST_ToCurvePoly 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.

The following example returns the result Polygon ((0 0, 2 0, 1 2, 0 0)).

SELECT NEW ST_MultiPolygon('MultiPolygon(((0 0, 2 0, 1 2, 0 0)))' ).ST_ToCurvePoly()
