Name

CG_StraightSkeletonPartition — Computes the straight skeleton partition of a polygon.

Synopsis

geometry CG_StraightSkeletonPartition(geometry geom, boolean auto_orientation);

Description

Computes the straight skeleton partition of the input polygon geometry geom. The straight skeleton is a partitioning of the polygon into faces formed by tracing the collapse of its edges. If auto_orientation is set to true, the function will automatically adjust the orientation of the input polygon to ensure correct results.

Availability: 3.6.0 - requires SFCGAL >= 2.0.0.

This method needs SFCGAL backend.

Examples

Code
SELECT CG_StraightSkeletonPartition('POLYGON((0 0,4 0,2 2,0 0))', true);
Output
POLYHEDRALSURFACE(((0 0,2 0.82842712474619,2 2,0 0)),((4 0,2 0.82842712474619,0 0,4 0)),((2 2,2 0.82842712474619,4 0,2 2)))
