MultiPoint は、Point 要素から構成される幾何図形コレクションです。点の接続や順序付けは一切行われません。
MultiPoint の例
世界地図で、
MultiPointは一連の小さな島々を表すことができます。市内地図で、
MultiPointはチケットオフィスの系列店を表すことができます。
MultiPoint のプロパティー
MultiPointは 0 次元の幾何図形です。この 2 つの
Pointの値 (座標値) が等しくない場合は、MultiPointは単純になります。MultiPointの境界は空セットになります。
Although that sounds easy, it can be counter-intuitive. The problem is the precision of coordinates. For example, in our project ( http://dobrotvor.com/ ) we bumped into this due to the fact that the precision of geo coordinates incapsulates the zoom value of Google Maps points. It's not right just to compare (X1 == X2) AND (Y1 == Y2) since the results can be wrong in many cases.
To make it work right, it's better to use special function (couldn't find anything better built-in):
[code]
DELIMITER //
DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS ArePointsEqual; //
CREATE FUNCTION ArePointsEqual(p1 POINT, p2 POINT) RETURNS BOOLEAN NO SQL DETERMINISTIC
BEGIN
RETURN IsZero(X(p1) - X(p2)) AND IsZero(Y(p1) - Y(p2));
END; //
DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS IsZero; //
CREATE FUNCTION IsZero(n DOUBLE) RETURNS BOOLEAN NO SQL DETERMINISTIC
BEGIN
DECLARE epsilon DOUBLE DEFAULT 0.00000000001;
RETURN (ABS(n) <= epsilon);
END; //
[/code]
The trick is not to use 0 as "zero value", but to use a very small difference (called "epsilon") instead for comparison.
