ST_HexagonGrid geomvektor for at finde alle punkter

SRID 3857-enheder er [meget cirka] meter, og ved at bruge denne projektion vil der skabes hex-celler, der "ser rigtigt ud" på et webkort (de fleste som bruger en webmercator-projektion).

I betragtning af at du har en tabel kaldet usa og den indeholder geometrierne for denne shapefile du burde være i stand til at oprette et gitter, der overlapper USA-kortet med følgende forespørgsel:

CREATE TABLE usa_hex AS
WITH j AS (
SELECT ST_Transform((hex).geom,4326) AS hex FROM ( 
  SELECT 
  generate_hexgrid(
    80467,
    ST_XMin(ST_Extent(ST_Transform(geom,3857))) ,
    ST_YMin(ST_Extent(ST_Transform(geom,3857))) ,
    ST_XMax(ST_Extent(ST_Transform(geom,3857))) ,
    ST_YMax(ST_Extent(ST_Transform(geom,3857))) ) AS hex
FROM usa)i) 
SELECT j.hex FROM j,usa
WHERE ST_Intersects(usa.geom,j.hex);

REDIGER :Det er stadig ikke et svar, da det ikke opretter sekskanterne ved hjælp af meter, men det kan måske hjælpe andre brugere. Følgende funktion (afledt af dette answer). ) opretter geometritype sekskanter af nøjagtig samme størrelse i grader .

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION generate_hexagons(width FLOAT, bbox BOX2D, srid INTEGER DEFAULT 4326)

  height FLOAT := 2*a+c;

Overlappende med datasættet, der er brugt ovenfor:

WITH j (hex_rec) AS (
  SELECT generate_hexagons(3.0,ST_Extent(geom)) 
  FROM usa
)
SELECT (hex_rec).gid,(hex_rec).hexagon FROM j, usa 
WHERE ST_Intersects(usa.geom,(hex_rec).hexagon);
