Modifying Spatial Objects

In this chapter we look at methods that modify, combine, alter, existing objects.

Methods that modify, combine, or alter existing objects
Method Description Supported Datatypes
MakeValid() Modifies a geometry to ensure it is valid geometry
STUnion() Defines a multi-element instance from the union of two instances geometry geography
STIntersection() Defines a Polygon from the intersection of two instances geometry geography
STDifference() Defines an instance from the points representing the difference between two geometries geometry geography
STSymDifference() Defines an instance from the points representing the difference between two geometries geometry geography
Reduce() Defines a simplified instance of a Polygon or LineString geometry geography
STBuffer() Defines a Polygon or MultiPolygon representing the buffer zone around an object geometry geography
BufferWithTolerance() Defines a Polygon or MultiPolygon representing the buffer zone around an object with a given tolerance geometry geography
STConvexHull() Creates a Polygon representing the convex hull of a geometry geometry
