Hi all,
I was to extract the '_lines' (path) if the lines are contained or on by a
box-like polygon. The result turns wrong if the box-like polygon is
changed from a square (x_max = y_max) to a rectangle (x_max <> y_max).
Please read the example at the end.
Please also notice that although the _lines #2 is contained by both square
and rectangle, it does not appear in both table.
I am wondering if it is a bug. Perhapes I did something wrong?

_____________________________________________________________________
test=# select * from test;
geoid | _lines
-------+---------------------------------------
0 | ((0,0),(1,1))
1 | ((1,1),(0,0))
2 | ((833749,820999),(844362,821001))
3 | ((1000000,1000000),(1000001,1000001))
4 | ((0,0),(1,1),(3,-1))
(5 rows)
test=# select * from test where polygon(pclose(_lines)) @ polygon
'(-2,-2),(850000,850000)';
geoid | _lines
-------+---------------
0 | ((0,0),(1,1))

test=# select * from test where polygon(pclose(_lines)) @ polygon
