Compute Extent

Compute geometric extent based on all input geometries. The options Bounding Box, Convex Hull and Union are possible.

Category: Geometric

Source:
Target:

Function ID: eu.esdihumboldt.cst.functions.geometric.extent

General explanation

The compute extent function uses the source data geometries to derive the geometric extent and map it to the target geometry. Three different options are available for extent computation: Bounding Box, Convex Hull and Union. Visual examples are provided below.



Bounding Box

The bounding box option maps the smallest rectangle shape that encloses the source data geometries to the target data geometry.



Convex Hull

The convex hull option maps the smallest convex shape that encloses the source data geometries to the target data geometry.
