Bienvenue sur PostGIS.fr , le site de la communauté des utilisateurs francophones de PostGIS.

PostGIS ajoute le support d'objets géographique à la base de données PostgreSQL. En effet, PostGIS "spatialise" le serverur PostgreSQL, ce qui permet de l'utiliser comme une base de données SIG.

Maintenu à jour, en fonction de nos disponibilités et des diverses sorties des outils que nous testons, nous vous proposons l'ensemble de nos travaux publiés en langue française.

Section 16: Projection Exercises

Here's a reminder of some of the functions we have seen. Hint: they should be useful for the exercises!

Remember the online resources that are available to you:

Also remember the tables we have available:

  • nyc_census_blocks
    • name, popn_total, boroname, the_geom
  • nyc_streets
    • name, type, the_geom
  • nyc_subway_stations
    • name, the_geom
  • nyc_neighborhoods
    • name, boroname, the_geom

Exercises

  • "What is the length of all streets in New York, as measured in UTM 18?"

    SELECT Sum(ST_Length(the_geom))
  FROM nyc_streets;

    10418904.7172

  • "What is the WKT definition of SRID 2831?"

    SELECT srtext FROM spatial_ref_sys
WHERE SRID = 2831;

  • "What is the length of all streets in New York, as measured in SRID 2831?"

    SELECT Sum(ST_Length(ST_Transform(the_geom,2831)))
  FROM nyc_streets;

    10421993.706374

    Note

    The difference between the UTM 18 and the Stateplane Long Island measurements is (10421993 - 10418904)/10418904, or 0.02%. Calculated on the spheroid using :ref:`geography` the total street length is 10421999, which is closer to the Stateplane value. This is not surprising, since the Stateplane Long Island projection is precisely calibrated for a very small area (New York City) while UTM 18 has to provide reasonable results for a large regional area.

  • "What is the KML representation of the point at 'Broad St' subway station?"

    SELECT ST_AsKML(the_geom)
FROM nyc_subway_stations
WHERE name = 'Broad St';

    <Point><coordinates>-74.010671468873468,40.707104815584088</coordinates></Point>

Hey! The coordinates are in geographics even though we didn't call :command:`ST_Transform`, why? Because the KML standard dictates that all coordinates must be in geographics (ESPG:4326, in fact) so the :command:`ST_AsKML` function does the transformation automatically.
