- DESCRIPTION:
Get the exterior ring of a Geometry type that represents an
ST_Polygon value.
PARAMETERS:
None
SUPPORTED GEOMETRY TYPES:
ST_Polygon
Note:
This method can be called on 3D geometries (those that include Z
coordinates). However, the Z coordinate is ignored in method
calculations. Consequently, any Z coordinates returned by this
method should be ignored. Teradata recommends using the make_2D()
method to strip out the Z coordinates of the return value.
RAISES:
TypeError, ValueError, TeradataMlException
RETURNS:
GeoDataFrame with result column containing ST_LineString Geometry values
EXAMPLES:
from teradataml import GeoDataFrame, load_example_data
# Load example data.
load_example_data("geodataframe", "sample_shapes")
# Create a GeoDataFrame.
gdf = GeoDataFrame("sample_shapes")
gdf = gdf.select(["skey", "polygons", "linestrings"])[gdf.skey.isin([1001, 1002, 1003])]
gdf
# Example 1: Get the exterior ring of all Polygon geometries in column 'polygons'.
# Let's check where the GeoDataFrame.geometry property points to.
print(gdf.geometry.name)
# Note: By default, GeoDataFrame.geometry property points to the first geometry column,
# in this case it is 'polygons'. Thus, no need to set it again.
