Spatial Lookups
===============

The spatial lookups in this section are available for :class:`GeometryField`
and :class:`RasterField`.

For an introduction, see the :ref:`spatial lookups introduction
<spatial-lookups-intro>`.  For an overview of what lookups are
compatible with a particular spatial backend, refer to the
:ref:`spatial lookup compatibility table <spatial-lookup-compatibility>`.

Lookups with rasters
--------------------

All examples in the reference below are given for geometry fields and inputs,
but the lookups can be used the same way with rasters on both sides. Whenever
a lookup doesn't support raster input, the input is automatically
converted to a geometry where necessary using the `ST_Polygon
<https://postgis.net/docs/RT_ST_Polygon.html>`_ function. See also the
:ref:`introduction to raster lookups <spatial-lookup-raster>`.

The database operators used by the lookups can be divided into three categories:

- Native raster support ``N``: the operator accepts rasters natively on both
  sides of the lookup, and raster input can be mixed with geometry inputs.

- Bilateral raster support ``B``: the operator supports rasters only if both
  sides of the lookup receive raster inputs. Raster data is automatically
  converted to geometries for mixed lookups.

- Geometry conversion support ``C``. The lookup does not have native raster
  support, all raster data is automatically converted to geometries.

The examples below show the SQL equivalent for the lookups in the different
types of raster support. The same pattern applies to all spatial lookups.

.. fieldlookup:: relate

``relate``

*Availability*: `PostGIS <https://postgis.net/docs/ST_Relate.html>`__,
MariaDB, Oracle, SpatiaLite, PGRaster (Conversion)

Tests if the geometry field is spatially related to the lookup geometry by
the values given in the given pattern.  This lookup requires a tuple parameter,
``(geom, pattern)``; the form of ``pattern`` will depend on the spatial backend:

MariaDB, PostGIS, and SpatiaLite
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On these spatial backends the intersection pattern is a string comprising
nine characters, which  define intersections between  the interior, boundary,
and exterior of the geometry field and the lookup geometry.
The intersection pattern matrix may only use the following characters:
``1``, ``2``, ``T``, ``F``, or ``*``.  This lookup type allows users to "fine tune"
a specific geometric relationship consistent with the DE-9IM model. [#fnde9im]_

Geometry example::

    # A tuple lookup parameter is used to specify the geometry and
    # the intersection pattern (the pattern here is for 'contains').
    Zipcode.objects.filter(poly__relate=(geom, 'T*T***FF*'))

PostGIS and MariaDB SQL equivalent:

.. code-block:: sql

    SELECT ... WHERE ST_Relate(poly, geom, 'T*T***FF*')

SpatiaLite SQL equivalent:

.. code-block:: sql

    SELECT ... WHERE Relate(poly, geom, 'T*T***FF*')

Raster example::

    Zipcode.objects.filter(poly__relate=(rast, 1, 'T*T***FF*'))
    Zipcode.objects.filter(rast__2__relate=(rast, 1, 'T*T***FF*'))

PostGIS SQL equivalent:

.. code-block:: sql

    SELECT ... WHERE ST_Relate(poly, ST_Polygon(rast, 1), 'T*T***FF*')
    SELECT ... WHERE ST_Relate(ST_Polygon(rast, 2), ST_Polygon(rast, 1), 'T*T***FF*')

Oracle
~~~~~~

Here the relation pattern is comprised of at least one of the nine relation
strings: ``TOUCH``, ``OVERLAPBDYDISJOINT``, ``OVERLAPBDYINTERSECT``,
``EQUAL``, ``INSIDE``, ``COVEREDBY``, ``CONTAINS``, ``COVERS``, ``ON``, and
``ANYINTERACT``.   Multiple strings may be combined with the logical Boolean
operator OR, for example, ``'inside+touch'``. [#fnsdorelate]_  The relation
strings are case-insensitive.

    Zipcode.objects.filter(poly__relate=(geom, 'anyinteract'))

.. _distance-lookups:

Distance Lookups
================

*Availability*: PostGIS, Oracle, MariaDB, MySQL, SpatiaLite, PGRaster (Native)

For an overview on performing distance queries, please refer to
the :ref:`distance queries introduction <distance-queries>`.

Distance lookups take the following form::

    <field>__<distance lookup>=(<geometry/raster>, <distance value>[, 'spheroid'])
    <field>__<distance lookup>=(<raster>, <band_index>, <distance value>[, 'spheroid'])
    <field>__<band_index>__<distance lookup>=(<raster>, <band_index>, <distance value>[, 'spheroid'])

The value passed into a distance lookup is a tuple; the first two
values are mandatory, and are the geometry to calculate distances to,
and a distance value (either a number in units of the field, a
:class:`~django.contrib.gis.measure.Distance` object, or a :doc:`query
expression </ref/models/expressions>`). To pass a band index to the lookup, use
a 3-tuple where the second entry is the band index.

On every distance lookup except :lookup:`dwithin`, an optional element,
``'spheroid'``, may be included to use the more accurate spheroid distance
calculation functions on fields with a geodetic coordinate system.

On PostgreSQL, the ``'spheroid'`` option uses `ST_DistanceSpheroid
<https://postgis.net/docs/ST_Distance_Spheroid.html>`__ instead of
`ST_DistanceSphere <https://postgis.net/docs/ST_DistanceSphere.html>`__. The
simpler `ST_Distance <https://postgis.net/docs/ST_Distance.html>`__ function is
used with projected coordinate systems. Rasters are converted to geometries for
spheroid based lookups.

Aggregate Functions

Django provides some GIS-specific aggregate functions. For details on how to
use these aggregate functions, see :doc:`the topic guide on aggregation
</topics/db/aggregation>`.

=====================  =====================================================
Keyword Argument       Description
=====================  =====================================================
``tolerance``          This keyword is for Oracle only.  It is for the
                       tolerance value used by the ``SDOAGGRTYPE``
                       procedure; the  `Oracle documentation`__ has more
                       details.

Example::

    >>> from django.contrib.gis.db.models import Extent, Union

``Collect``
~~~~~~~~~~~

.. class:: Collect(geo_field)

*Availability*: `PostGIS <https://postgis.net/docs/ST_Collect.html>`__,
SpatiaLite

Returns a ``GEOMETRYCOLLECTION`` or a ``MULTI`` geometry object from the geometry
column. This is analogous to a simplified version of the :class:`Union`
aggregate, except it can be several orders of magnitude faster than performing
a union because it rolls up geometries into a collection or multi object, not
caring about dissolving boundaries.

``Extent``
~~~~~~~~~~

.. class:: Extent(geo_field)

*Availability*: `PostGIS <https://postgis.net/docs/ST_Extent.html>`__,
Oracle, SpatiaLite

Returns the extent of all ``geo_field`` in the ``QuerySet`` as a four-tuple,
comprising the lower left coordinate and the upper right coordinate.

Example::

    >>> qs = City.objects.filter(name__in=('Houston', 'Dallas')).aggregate(Extent('poly'))
    >>> print(qs['poly__extent'])
    (-96.8016128540039, 29.7633724212646, -95.3631439208984, 32.782058715820)

``Extent3D``
~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. class:: Extent3D(geo_field)

*Availability*: `PostGIS <https://postgis.net/docs/ST_3DExtent.html>`__

Returns the 3D extent of all ``geo_field`` in the ``QuerySet`` as a six-tuple,
comprising the lower left coordinate and upper right coordinate (each with x, y,
and z coordinates).

Example::

    >>> qs = City.objects.filter(name__in=('Houston', 'Dallas')).aggregate(Extent3D('poly'))
    >>> print(qs['poly__extent3d'])
    (-96.8016128540039, 29.7633724212646, 0, -95.3631439208984, 32.782058715820, 0)

``MakeLine``
~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. class:: MakeLine(geo_field)

*Availability*: `PostGIS <https://postgis.net/docs/ST_MakeLine.html>`__,
SpatiaLite

Returns a ``LineString`` constructed from the point field geometries in the
``QuerySet``. Currently, ordering the queryset has no effect.

Example::

    >>> qs = City.objects.filter(name__in=('Houston', 'Dallas')).aggregate(MakeLine('poly'))
    >>> print(qs['poly__makeline'])
    LINESTRING (-95.3631510000000020 29.7633739999999989, -96.8016109999999941 32.7820570000000018)

``Union``
~~~~~~~~~

.. class:: Union(geo_field)

*Availability*: `PostGIS <https://postgis.net/docs/ST_Union.html>`__,
Oracle, SpatiaLite

This method returns a :class:`~django.contrib.gis.geos.GEOSGeometry` object
comprising the union of every geometry in the queryset. Please note that use of
``Union`` is processor intensive and may take a significant amount of time on
large querysets.

.. note::

    If the computation time for using this method is too expensive, consider
    using :class:`Collect` instead.

Example::

    >>> u = Zipcode.objects.aggregate(Union(poly))  # This may take a long time.
    >>> u = Zipcode.objects.filter(poly__within=bbox).aggregate(Union(poly))  # A more sensible approach.
