ST_ForcePolygonCCW¶

Introduction: For (Multi)Polygon geometries, this function sets the exterior ring orientation to counter-clockwise and interior rings to clockwise orientation. Non-polygonal geometries are returned unchanged.

ST_ForcePolygonCCW

Format: ST_ForcePolygonCCW(geom: Geometry)

Return type: Geometry

Since: v1.6.0

SQL Example:

SELECT ST_AsText(ST_ForcePolygonCCW(ST_GeomFromText('POLYGON ((20 35, 45 20, 30 5, 10 10, 10 30, 20 35), (30 20, 20 25, 20 15, 30 20))')))

Output:

POLYGON ((20 35, 10 30, 10 10, 30 5, 45 20, 20 35), (30 20, 20 15, 20 25, 30 20))
