Description: PostGIS- envelope function returns wrong results
Details:
I would like to report an error with the evelope function in PostGIS (Geos
library).
According to the OGC, two geometries may only overlap if they are both of
the same type. I performed a query in PostGIS with 2 objects one polygon and
on multi-line. using the overlaps operation with the envelope function this
query returned 71 rows. It should return zero, since polygons and lines may
cross, an not overlap. Indeed, the crosses operations returns zero rows
among this objects using the evelope function.
Have you already presented a solution for the envelope operation or has this
problem not been reported previously.
Regards,
Vania
