Filter Geometry by Area

Calculates which geospatial geometry objects from a table intersect a named area of interest (NAI/polygon). The operation is synchronous, meaning that a response will not be returned until all the matching objects are fully available. The response payload provides the count of the resulting set. A new resultant set (view) which satisfies the input NAI restriction specification is created with the name input parameter view_name passed in as part of the input.

Input Parameter Description

Name	Type	Description
table_name	string	Name of the table to filter. This may be the name of a collection, a table, or a view (when chaining queries). If filtering a collection, all child tables where the filter expression is valid will be filtered; the filtered result tables will then be placed in a collection specified by input parameter view_name.
view_name	string	If provided, then this will be the name of the view containing the results. Must not be an already existing collection, table or view. The default value is ''.
column_name	string	Name of the geospatial geometry column to be filtered.
x_vector	array of doubles	List of x coordinates of the vertices of the polygon representing the area to be filtered.
y_vector	array of doubles	List of y coordinates of the vertices of the polygon representing the area to be filtered.
options	map of string to strings	Optional parameters. The default value is an empty map ( {} ). Supported Parameters (keys) Parameter Description collection_name Name of a collection which is to contain the newly created view. If the collection provided is non-existent, the collection will be automatically created. If empty, then the newly created view will be top-level.

Output Parameter Description

Name	Type	Description
count	long	The number of records passing the area filter.
info	map of string to strings	Additional information.
