Hello,
I have a question regarding the st_difference operation:
I want to identify the non overlapping area of a given polygon, that might
intersect with arbitrary other polygons.
I realized, that st_difference operation works only with two parameters. The
API says not to use it with geometry collections.
In order to realize this, I needed to do combine st_intersection with
st_difference in recursive manner as shown below with the following output:
st_intersection(
st_intersection(
st_difference(
st_buffer(st_pointfromtext('POINT(680386.8879388
5152170.83093339),82344),9000.0),
st_buffer(st_pointfromtext('POINT(688402.843016069
5157054.21005474),82344),3000.0)
),
st_difference(
st_buffer(st_pointfromtext('POINT(680386.8879388
5152170.83093339),82344),9000.0),
st_buffer(st_pointfromtext('POINT(674802.141078014
5161560.18713918),82344),5860.0)
)
),st_difference(
st_buffer(st_pointfromtext('POINT(680386.8879388
5152170.83093339),82344),9000.0),
st_buffer(st_pointfromtext('POINT(680910.532411225
5142908.46168964),82344),5000.0)
)
)
)
)
my question now is: Is there a simpler way?
cheers Markus
