Tasks

  • Benchmarking of expanded object headers test branch

  • BRIN indexes implementation for PostGIS geometries
  • postgis/lwgeom_in_* move to liblwgeom dir (or any code that doesn't depend on Postgres?)

Possible PostGIS function improvement and addition

  • slight addition
    • st_angle(P1,P2,P3) [remi]
    • st_MakeRing((multi) linestrings and/or points
    • st_DumpLines -> dump everything to line (rings in poly, lines in multilines, etc. )
    • st_DumpSegments -> dump segments (in the mathematical sense), that is every consecutive pairs of points in lines
  • big addition
    • generate grid (regular and hex)
    • st_snapToLine -> st_snap = snap vertex to vertex. This one = snap vertex to vertex or edge. (note: st_snap also snap line to vertex)
    • st_splitLineByPoint(line,point,tolerance) -> using curv absc, the only current way to not be sensible to precision issue (st_split doesnt work)
    • st_VariableBuffer(geomM) -> buffer on geometry, the radius is given by M of each vertex, linear transition between. A lots of uses
    • St_FindCurve(geom,radius_range,min_number_of_support_points,tolerance) -> in a classical geometry, find the point describing arcs
    • St_MakeArc(P1,P2,centre) and St_MakeArc(P1,P2,radius) -> create arcs (_not_ using 3 points on arc!)
    • St_OrientedBBox(geom) -> returns the oriented bbox of the geom (returns a geom and an angle)
