geo.ST_Length() function
The geo.ST_Length() function is experimental and subject to change at any time.
By using this function, you accept the risks of experimental functions.
The geo.ST_Length() function returns the spherical length or distance
of the specified geographic information system (GIS) geometry.
Define distance units with the geo.units option.
import "experimental/geo"
geo.ST_Length(
geometry: {linestring: "39.7515 14.01433, 38.3527 13.9228, 36.9978 15.08433"},
)
// Returns 346.1023974652474 (km)
Parameters
geometry
The GIS geometry to measure.
Can be either point or linestring geometry.
Points will always return 0.0.
See GIS geometry definitions.
Examples
Calculate the length of geographic paths
import "experimental/geo"
region = {minLat: 40.51757813, maxLat: 40.86914063, minLon: -73.65234375, maxLon: -72.94921875}
