Thread: New function: area(PATH)...

New function: area(PATH)...

From
Sean Chittenden
Date:
Attached is a patch that includes the ability to get the area of a
closed path.  If the path isn't closed, area() returns NULL.

test=> SELECT p, area(p) from t;
                     p                     | area
------------------------------------------+------
  ((0,0),(1,0),(1,1),(2,1),(2,2),(0,2))    |    3
(1 row)

I haven't teased out the inet_client_addr() patch out of my public
development repo, so that's included as well.  No document changes
included because the description of the area() function args is a vague
and all encompassing "object".  -sc
