Returns a convex hull for a given set of geometry objects.
ConvexHullAggregate ( geometry_operand )
geometry_operand
Is a geometry type table column that represents a set of geometry objects.
SQL Server return type: geometry
Throws a FormatException
when there are input values that are not valid. See STIsValid (geometry Data Type)
Method returns null when the input is empty or the input has different SRIDs. See Spatial Reference Identifiers (SRIDs)
Method ignores null inputs.
[!NOTE]
Method returns null if all inputted values are null.
The following example returns a convex hull of the set of geometry objects in a table variable column.
-- Setup table variable for ConvexHullAggregate example
DECLARE @Geom TABLE
(
shape geometry,
shapeType nvarchar(50)
)
INSERT INTO @Geom(shape,shapeType) VALUES('CURVEPOLYGON(CIRCULARSTRING(2 3, 4 1, 6 3, 4 5, 2 3))', 'Circle'),
('POLYGON((1 1, 4 1, 4 5, 1 5, 1 1))', 'Rectangle');
-- Perform ConvexHullAggregate on @Geom.shape column
SELECT geometry::ConvexHullAggregate(shape).ToString()
FROM @Geom;
