Geographic Database Functions
=============================
.. module:: django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions
:synopsis: Geographic Database Functions
.. versionadded:: 1.9
The functions documented on this page allow users to access geographic database
functions to be used in annotations, aggregations, or filters in Django.
Example::
>>> from django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions import Length
>>> Track.objects.annotate(length=Length('line')).filter(length__gt=100)
Not all backends support all functions, so refer to the documentation of each
function to see if your database backend supports the function you want to use.
If you call a geographic function on a backend that doesn't support it, you'll
get a ``NotImplementedError`` exception.

.. class:: Area(expression, **extra)
*Availability*: MySQL, Oracle, PostGIS, SpatiaLite
Accepts a single geographic field or expression and returns the area of the
field as an :class:`~django.contrib.gis.measure.Area` measure. On MySQL, a raw
float value is returned, as it's not possible to automatically determine the
unit of the field.

*Availability*: PostGIS, SpatiaLite
Accepts a single geographic field or expression and returns a `GeoJSON
<http://geojson.org/>`_ representation of the geometry. Note that the result is
not a complete GeoJSON structure but only the ``geometry`` key content of a
GeoJSON structure. See also :doc:`/ref/contrib/gis/serializers`.
Example::
>>> City.objects.annotate(json=AsGeoJSON('point')).get(name='Chicago').json
{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-87.65018,41.85039]}

to be included in the returned GeoJSON.
``crs`` Set this to ``True`` if you want the coordinate
reference system to be included in the returned
GeoJSON.
``precision`` It may be used to specify the number of significant
digits for the coordinates in the GeoJSON
representation -- the default value is 8.

===================== =====================================================
``precision`` Not used on Oracle. It may be used to specify the number
of significant digits for the coordinates in the GML
representation -- the default value is 8.

``AsSVG``
=========
.. class:: AsSVG(expression, relative=False, precision=8, **extra)
*Availability*: PostGIS, SpatiaLite
Accepts a single geographic field or expression and returns a `Scalable Vector
Graphics (SVG)`__ representation of the geometry.
===================== =====================================================
Keyword Argument Description
===================== =====================================================
``relative`` If set to ``True``, the path data will be implemented
in terms of relative moves. Defaults to ``False``,
meaning that absolute moves are used instead.
``precision`` This keyword may be used to specify the number of
significant digits for the coordinates in the SVG
representation -- the default value is 8.
===================== =====================================================

``BoundingCircle``
==================
.. class:: BoundingCircle(expression, num_seg=48, **extra)
*Availability*: `PostGIS <http://postgis.net/docs/ST_MinimumBoundingCircle.html>`__
Accepts a single geographic field or expression and returns the smallest circle
polygon that can fully contain the geometry.
``Centroid``
============
.. class:: Centroid(expression, **extra)
*Availability*: MySQL, PostGIS, Oracle, SpatiaLite
Accepts a single geographic field or expression and returns the ``centroid``
value of the geometry.
``Difference``
==============
.. class:: Difference(expr1, expr2, **extra)
*Availability*: MySQL (≥ 5.6.1), PostGIS, Oracle, SpatiaLite
Accepts two geographic fields or expressions and returns the geometric
difference, that is the part of geometry A that does not intersect with
geometry B.
.. versionchanged:: 1.10
MySQL support was added.
``Distance``
============
.. class:: Distance(expr1, expr2, spheroid=None, **extra)
*Availability*: MySQL (≥ 5.6.1), PostGIS, Oracle, SpatiaLite
Accepts two geographic fields or expressions and returns the distance between
them, as a :class:`~django.contrib.gis.measure.Distance` object. On MySQL, a raw
float value is returned, as it's not possible to automatically determine the
unit of the field.
On backends that support distance calculation on geodetic coordinates, the
proper backend function is automatically chosen depending on the SRID value of
the geometries (e.g. ``ST_Distance_Sphere`` on PostGIS).
When distances are calculated with geodetic (angular) coordinates, as is the
case with the default WGS84 (4326) SRID, you can set the ``spheroid`` keyword
argument to decide if the calculation should be based on a simple sphere (less
accurate, less resource-intensive) or on a spheroid (more accurate, more
resource-intensive).
In the following example, the distance from the city of Hobart to every other
:class:`~django.contrib.gis.db.models.PointField` in the ``AustraliaCity``
queryset is calculated::
>>> from django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions import Distance
>>> pnt = AustraliaCity.objects.get(name='Hobart').point
>>> for city in AustraliaCity.objects.annotate(distance=Distance('point', pnt)):
... print(city.name, city.distance)
Wollongong 990071.220408 m
Shellharbour 972804.613941 m
Thirroul 1002334.36351 m
...
.. note::
Because the ``distance`` attribute is a
:class:`~django.contrib.gis.measure.Distance` object, you can easily express
the value in the units of your choice. For example, ``city.distance.mi`` is
the distance value in miles and ``city.distance.km`` is the distance value
in kilometers. See :doc:`measure` for usage details and the list of
:ref:`supported_units`.
``Envelope``
============
.. class:: Envelope(expression, **extra)
*Availability*: MySQL, PostGIS, SpatiaLite
Accepts a single geographic field or expression and returns the geometry
representing the bounding box of the geometry.

.. class:: ForceRHR(expression, **extra)
*Availability*: `PostGIS <http://postgis.net/docs/ST_ForceRHR.html>`__

``Intersection``
================
.. class:: Intersection(expr1, expr2, **extra)

``Length``
==========
.. class:: Length(expression, spheroid=True, **extra)
*Availability*: MySQL, Oracle, PostGIS, SpatiaLite
Accepts a single geographic linestring or multilinestring field or expression
and returns its length as an :class:`~django.contrib.gis.measure.Distance`
measure. On MySQL, a raw float value is returned, as it's not possible to
automatically determine the unit of the field.
On PostGIS and SpatiaLite, when the coordinates are geodetic (angular), you can
specify if the calculation should be based on a simple sphere (less
accurate, less resource-intensive) or on a spheroid (more accurate, more
resource-intensive) with the ``spheroid`` keyword argument.
``MemSize``

Accepts a single geographic field or expression and returns the memory size
(number of bytes) that the geometry field takes.
``NumGeometries``
=================

Accepts a single geographic field or expression and returns the perimeter of the
geometry field as a :class:`~django.contrib.gis.measure.Distance` object. On
MySQL, a raw float value is returned, as it's not possible to automatically
determine the unit of the field.
``PointOnSurface``

*Availability*: PostGIS, SpatiaLite (≥ 3.1)
Accepts a single geographic field or expression and returns a geometry with all
points snapped to the given grid. How the geometry is snapped to the grid
depends on how many numeric (either float, integer, or long) arguments are

symmetric difference (union without the intersection) between the given
parameters.

MySQL support was added.
``Transform``
=============
.. class:: Transform(expression, srid, **extra)
*Availability*: PostGIS, Oracle, SpatiaLite
Accepts a geographic field or expression and a SRID integer code, and returns
the transformed geometry to the spatial reference system specified by the
``srid`` parameter.
