4.1.  Point #

There is only one constructor function for spherical points.

spoint(lng,  
 lat); 
float8 lng;
float8 lat;
 

where lng is the longitude of the spherical point in radians, lng is the latitude of the spherical point in radians.

Example 4.1. A spherical point from longitude and latitude

Get a spherical position with 270° of longitude and -30° of latitude.

sql> SELECT spoint ( 270.0*pi()/180.0,-30.0*pi()/180.0 ) AS spoint;
