31.8 RECTANGLE Function

This function creates a rectangle from point at (p_lon1, p_lat1) to (p_lon2, p_lat2).

Syntax

APEX_SPATIAL.RECTANGLE (
    p_lon1        IN NUMBER,
    p_lat1        IN NUMBER,
    p_lon2        IN NUMBER,
    p_lat2        IN NUMBER,
    p_srid        IN t_srid DEFAULT c_wgs_84 )
RETURN mdsys.sdo_geometry;

Parameters

Table 31-9 RECTANGLE Parameters

Parameter	Description
`p_lon1`	Longitude position of the lower left point.
`p_lat1`	Latitude position of the lower left point.
`p_lon2`	Longitude position of the upper right point.
`p_lat2`	Latitude position of the upper right point.
`p_srid`	Reference system (default c_wgs_84).

Returns

Table 31-10 RECTANGLE Function Returns

Return	Description
`mdsys.sdo_geometry`	The geometry for the rectangle (p_lon1, p_lon2, p_lon2, p_lat2).

Example

This example is a query that returns a rectangle from (10, 50) to (11, 51).

select apex_spatial.rectangle(10, 50, 11, 51) from dual

This example is equivalent to:

select mdsys.sdo_geometry(
    2003, 4326, null,
    sdo_elem_info_array(1, 1003, 1),
    sdo_ordinate_array(10, 50, 11, 50, 11, 51, 10, 51, 10, 50))
from dual;
