Returns the Nth interior ring of a Polygon as a LineString. Rings are numbered starting from 1.
Syntax
geometry ST_InteriorRingN(geometry aPolygon, integer n)Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| aPolygon | The input Polygon geometry. |
| n | The 1-based index of the interior ring to return. |
Usage notes
Returns NULL if the input geometry is not a Polygon or if
nis out of range.Does not support MultiPolygon geometries. To use this function with a MultiPolygon, first call
ST_Dumpto decompose it into individual Polygon geometries.Supports 3D geometries and preserves z coordinates.
Examples
SELECT ST_AsText(ST_InteriorRingN('POLYGON((1 0,3 0,0 3,1 0),(1 0,2 0, 0 2,1 0))'::geometry, 1));Output:
st_astext
