SDO_NFE.GET_CONNECTION_POINT_GEOM

Format

SDO_NFE.GET_CONNECTION_POINT_GEOM(
     conn_intersection  IN SDO_INTERACTION
     ) RETURN SDO_GEOMETRY;

Description

Given a group of interacting features (lines and/or points), calculates and returns the geometry of the point that must connect them.

Parameters

conn_intersection

Interaction group of features. Set of line and/or point features that interact at a common spatial point. (The SDO_INTERACTION type is described in Data Types Used for NFE Connectivity Rules.)

Usage Notes

This function is mainly used over a validated group of features that must be connected because of the requirement of a connectivity rule (see NFE Rules). To get this group of features, use SDO_NFE.GET_LP_CONN_INTERSECTIONS for Line-Point Rules or SDO_NFE.GET_LL_CONN_INTERSECTIONS for Line-Line Rules.

Examples

The following example gets the connection point geometry for each interacting group that meets the given line-point rule.

DECLARE
  model_id        NUMBER := 1;
  lp_rule_id      NUMBER := 1;
  inter_grps          SDO_INTERACTION_ARRAY;
  conn_point_geom     SDO_GEOMETRY;
BEGIN
  -- Get the groups of interacting features that meet the L-P Rule in the model
 inter_grps := sdo_nfe.get_interaction_groups( model_id, sdo_nfe.RULE_TYPE_LINE_POINT, lp_rule_id );
  -- Iterate through the interacting groups
 FOR i IN 1..inter_grps.count loop
  -- Get the connection point geometry for each interacting group
   conn_point_geom := sdo_nfe.get_connection_point_geom( inter_groups(i));
 END loop;
END;
