Hi, I am trying to write a PL/pgsql function that will take a CUBE variable (which will be a 1D point) and a double precision variable.
If the input CUBE is defined as
'(x,y,z)'::cube
the function would then return a CUBE value of the form
'(x+R,y+R,z+R),(x-R,y-R,z-R)'::cube
where R is the second argument.
The problem I'm having is to actually add R to the individual components of the CUBE variable. I can't cast CUBE to float[] and I don't see anyway to get at the individual components of the CUBE.

I haven't tested this, but it looks like you can use cube_subset() to do that.

From [0]:

  cube_subset(cube, int[]) returns cube

Further, it looks like you're actually trying to create a function that will do precisely what cube_enlarge() does.

Indeed! sorry for not giving the docs a thorough a reading

Thanks for the pointer
