Each function that belongs to this group takes a geometry value as its argument and returns some quantitative or qualitative property of the geometry. 属于此组的每个函数都将一个几何值作为其参数,并返回几何体的一些定量或定性属性。Some functions restrict their argument type. 有些函数限制其参数类型。Such functions return 如果参数的几何体类型不正确,则此类函数返回NULL
if the argument is of an incorrect geometry type. NULL
。For example, the 例如,如果对象类型既不是ST_Area()
polygon function returns NULL
if the object type is neither Polygon
nor MultiPolygon
.Polygon
,也不是MultiPolygon
,则ST_Area()
多边形函数将返回NULL
。
