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>`.

.. versionchanged:: 1.10

    Spatial lookups now support raster input.

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
<http://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.

------------

*Availability*: PostGIS, Oracle, MySQL, SpatiaLite, PGRaster (Bilateral)

.. fieldlookup:: relate

``relate``
----------

*Availability*: PostGIS, 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:

PostGIS & 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 SQL equivalent::

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

SpatiaLite SQL equivalent::

    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::

    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.

Example::

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

Oracle SQL equivalent::

    SELECT ... WHERE SDO_RELATE(poly, geom, 'anyinteract')

.. _distance-lookups:

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

*Availability*: PostGIS, Oracle, 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 `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_Distance_Spheroid`` instead
of ``ST_Distance_Sphere``. The simpler ``ST_Distance`` function is used with
projected coordinate systems. Rasters are converted to geometries for spheroid
based lookups.

.. versionadded:: 1.10

    The ability to pass an expression as the distance value was added.

.. versionadded:: 1.11

    Support for the ``'spheroid'`` option on SQLite was added.

.. fieldlookup:: distance_gt

``distance_gte``
----------------

.. fieldlookup:: dwithin

``dwithin``
-----------

Returns models where the distance to the geometry field from the lookup
geometry are within the given distance from one another. Note that you can only
provide :class:`~django.contrib.gis.measure.Distance` objects if the targeted
geometries are in a projected system. For geographic geometries, you should use
units of the geometry field (e.g. degrees for ``WGS84``) .

.. _geoqueryset-methods:

``GeoQuerySet`` Methods
=======================

.. deprecated:: 1.9

    Using ``GeoQuerySet`` methods is now deprecated in favor of the new
    :doc:`functions`. Albeit a little more verbose, they are much more powerful
    in how it is possible to combine them to build more complex queries.

``GeoQuerySet`` methods specify that a spatial operation be performed
on each spatial operation on each geographic
field in the queryset and store its output in a new attribute on the model
(which is generally the name of the ``GeoQuerySet`` method).

There are also aggregate ``GeoQuerySet`` methods which return a single value
instead of a queryset.  This section will describe the API and availability
of every ``GeoQuerySet`` method available in GeoDjango.

.. note::

    What methods are available depend on your spatial backend.  See
    the :ref:`compatibility table <database-functions-compatibility>`
    for more details.

With a few exceptions, the following keyword arguments may be used with all
``GeoQuerySet`` methods:

=====================  =====================================================
Keyword Argument       Description
=====================  =====================================================
``field_name``         By default, ``GeoQuerySet`` methods use the first
                       geographic field encountered in the model.  This
                       keyword should be used to specify another
                       geographic field (e.g., ``field_name='point2'``)
                       when there are multiple geographic fields in a model.

                       On PostGIS, the ``field_name`` keyword may also be
                       used on geometry fields in models that are related
                       via a ``ForeignKey`` relation (e.g.,
                       ``field_name='related__point'``).

``model_att``          By default, ``GeoQuerySet`` methods typically attach
                       their output in an attribute with the same name as
                       the ``GeoQuerySet`` method.  Setting this keyword
                       with the desired attribute name will override this
                       default behavior.  For example,
                       ``qs = Zipcode.objects.centroid(model_att='c')`` will
                       attach the centroid of the ``Zipcode`` geometry field
                       in a ``c`` attribute on every model rather than in a
                       ``centroid`` attribute.

                       This keyword is required if
                       a method name clashes with an existing
                       ``GeoQuerySet`` method -- if you wanted to use the
                       ``area()`` method on model with a ``PolygonField``
                       named ``area``, for example.
=====================  =====================================================

Measurement
-----------
*Availability*: PostGIS, Oracle, SpatiaLite

``area``
~~~~~~~~

.. method:: GeoQuerySet.area(**kwargs)

.. deprecated:: 1.9

    Use the :class:`~django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions.Area` function
    instead.

Returns the area of the geographic field in an ``area`` attribute on
each element of this GeoQuerySet.

``distance``
~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. method:: GeoQuerySet.distance(geom, **kwargs)

.. deprecated:: 1.9

    Use the :class:`~django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions.Distance` function
    instead.

This method takes a geometry as a parameter, and attaches a ``distance``
attribute to every model in the returned queryset that contains the
distance (as a :class:`~django.contrib.gis.measure.Distance` object) to the given geometry.

In the following example (taken from the `GeoDjango distance tests`__),
the distance from the `Tasmanian`__ city of Hobart to every other
:class:`PointField` in the ``AustraliaCity`` queryset is calculated::

    >>> pnt = AustraliaCity.objects.get(name='Hobart').point
    >>> for city in AustraliaCity.objects.distance(pnt): print(city.name, city.distance)
    Wollongong 990071.220408 m
    Shellharbour 972804.613941 m
    Thirroul 1002334.36351 m
    Mittagong 975691.632637 m
    Batemans Bay 834342.185561 m
    Canberra 598140.268959 m
    Melbourne 575337.765042 m
    Sydney 1056978.87363 m
    Hobart 0.0 m
    Adelaide 1162031.83522 m
    Hillsdale 1049200.46122 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`.

``length``
~~~~~~~~~~

.. method:: GeoQuerySet.length(**kwargs)

.. deprecated:: 1.9

    Use the :class:`~django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions.Length` function
    instead.

Returns the length of the geometry field in a ``length`` attribute
(a :class:`~django.contrib.gis.measure.Distance` object) on each model in
the queryset.

``perimeter``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. method:: GeoQuerySet.perimeter(**kwargs)

.. deprecated:: 1.9

    Use the :class:`~django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions.Perimeter` function
    instead.

Returns the perimeter of the geometry field in a ``perimeter`` attribute
(a :class:`~django.contrib.gis.measure.Distance` object) on each model in
the queryset.

The following methods take no arguments, and attach geometry objects
each element of the :class:`GeoQuerySet` that is the result of relationship
function evaluated on the geometry field.

``transform``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. method:: GeoQuerySet.transform(srid=4326, **kwargs)

.. deprecated:: 1.9

    Use the :class:`~django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions.Transform` function
    instead.

*Availability*: PostGIS, Oracle, SpatiaLite

The ``transform`` method transforms the geometry field of a model to the spatial
reference system specified by the ``srid`` parameter.  If no ``srid`` is given,
then 4326 (WGS84) is used by default.

.. note::

    Unlike other ``GeoQuerySet`` methods, ``transform`` stores its output
    "in-place".  In other words, no new attribute for the transformed
    geometry is placed on the models.

.. note::

    What spatial reference system an integer SRID corresponds to may depend on
    the spatial database used.  In other words, the SRID numbers used for Oracle
    are not necessarily the same as those used by PostGIS.

Example::

    >>> qs = Zipcode.objects.all().transform() # Transforms to WGS84
    >>> qs = Zipcode.objects.all().transform(32140) # Transforming to "NAD83 / Texas South Central"
    >>> print(qs[0].poly.srid)
    32140
    >>> print(qs[0].poly)

=====================  =====================================================

__ https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/SPATL/GUID-3BD00273-E74F-4830-9444-A3BB15AA0AC4.htm#SPATL466

Example::

    >>> from django.contrib.gis.db.models import Extent, Union
    >>> WorldBorder.objects.aggregate(Extent('mpoly'), Union('mpoly'))

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

.. class:: Collect(geo_field)

*Availability*: PostGIS, 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 simply rolls up geometries into a collection or multi object,
not caring about dissolving boundaries.

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

.. class:: Extent(geo_field)

*Availability*: PostGIS, 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

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, SpatiaLite

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

.. versionchanged:: 1.10

    SpatiaLite support was added.

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, 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.
