# Geographic Database Functions

The functions documented on this page allow users to access geographic database functions to be used in annotations, aggregations, or filters in Django.

Example:

    >>> from django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions import Length
    >>> Track.objects.annotate(length=Length("line")).filter(length__gt=100)

Not all backends support all functions, so refer to the documentation of each function to see if your database backend supports the function you want to use. If you call a geographic function on a backend that doesn’t support it, you’ll get a `NotImplementedError` exception.

## `Area`

class `Area`(expression, **extra)

Availability: MariaDB, MySQL, Oracle, PostGIS, SpatiaLite

Accepts a single geographic field or expression and returns the area of the field as an `Area` measure.

MySQL and SpatiaLite without LWGEOM/RTTOPO don’t support area calculations on geographic SRSes.

class `AsGeoJSON`(expression, bbox=False, crs=False, precision=8, **extra)

Availability: MariaDB, MySQL, Oracle, PostGIS, SpatiaLite

Accepts a single geographic field or expression and returns a GeoJSON representation of the geometry. Note that the result is not a complete GeoJSON structure but only the `geometry` key content of a GeoJSON structure. See also GeoJSON Serializer.

    {"type":"Point","coordinates":[-87.65018,41.85039]}

Keyword Argument | Description
--- | ---
`bbox` | Set this to `True` if you want the bounding box to be included in the returned GeoJSON. Ignored on Oracle.
`crs` | Set this to `True` if you want the coordinate reference system to be included in the returned GeoJSON. Ignored on MySQL and Oracle.
`precision` | It may be used to specify the number of significant digits for the coordinates in the GeoJSON representation – the default value is 8. Ignored on Oracle.

Keyword Argument | Description
--- | ---
`relative` | If set to `True`, the path data will be implemented in terms of relative moves. Defaults to `False`, meaning that absolute moves are used instead.
`precision` | This keyword may be used to specify the number of significant digits for the coordinates in the SVG representation – the default value is 8.

## `AsWKB`

class `AsWKB`(expression, **extra)

Availability: MariaDB, MySQL, Oracle, PostGIS, SpatiaLite

Example:

    >>> bytes(City.objects.annotate(wkb=AsWKB("point")).get(name="Chelyabinsk").wkb)
    b'\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00]3\xf9f\x9b\x91K@\x00X\x1d9\xd2\xb9N@'

## `AsWKT`

## `Azimuth`

class `Azimuth`(point_a, point_b, **extra)

Availability: PostGIS, SpatiaLite (LWGEOM/RTTOPO)

Returns the azimuth in radians of the segment defined by the given point geometries, or `None` if the two points are coincident. The azimuth is angle referenced from north and is positive clockwise: north = `0`; east = `π/2`; south = `π`; west = `3π/2`.

## `BoundingCircle`

class `BoundingCircle`(expression, num_seg=48, **extra)

Availability: PostGIS, Oracle

Accepts a single geographic field or expression and returns the smallest circle polygon that can fully contain the geometry.

The `num_seg` parameter is used only on PostGIS.

## `Centroid`

class `Centroid`(expression, **extra)

Availability: MariaDB, MySQL, PostGIS, Oracle, SpatiaLite

Accepts a single geographic field or expression and returns the `centroid` value of the geometry.

## `Difference`

class `Difference`(expr1, expr2, **extra)

Availability: MariaDB, MySQL, PostGIS, Oracle, SpatiaLite

Accepts two geographic fields or expressions and returns the geometric difference, that is the part of geometry A that does not intersect with geometry B.

## `Distance`

class `Distance`(expr1, expr2, spheroid=None, **extra)

Availability: MariaDB, MySQL, PostGIS, Oracle, SpatiaLite

Accepts two geographic fields or expressions and returns the distance between them, as a `Distance` object. On MySQL, a raw float value is returned when the coordinates are geodetic.

On backends that support distance calculation on geodetic coordinates, the proper backend function is automatically chosen depending on the SRID value of the geometries (e.g. ST_DistanceSphere on PostGIS).

When distances are calculated with geodetic (angular) coordinates, as is the case with the default WGS84 (4326) SRID, you can set the `spheroid` keyword argument to decide if the calculation should be based on a simple sphere (less accurate, less resource-intensive) or on a spheroid (more accurate, more resource-intensive).

In the following example, the distance from the city of Hobart to every other `PointField` in the `AustraliaCity` queryset is calculated:

    >>> from django.contrib.gis.db.models.functions import Distance
    >>> pnt = AustraliaCity.objects.get(name="Hobart").point
    >>> for city in AustraliaCity.objects.annotate(distance=Distance("point", pnt)):
    ...     print(city.name, city.distance)
    ...
    Wollongong 990071.220408 m
    Shellharbour 972804.613941 m
    Thirroul 1002334.36351 m
    ...

Informacja

Because the `distance` attribute is a `Distance` object, you can easily express the value in the units of your choice. For example, `city.distance.mi` is the distance value in miles and `city.distance.km` is the distance value in kilometers. See Measurement Objects for usage details and the list of Supported units.

## `Envelope`

class `Envelope`(expression, **extra)

Availability: MariaDB, MySQL, Oracle, PostGIS, SpatiaLite

Accepts a single geographic field or expression and returns the geometry representing the bounding box of the geometry.

## `Length`

class `Length`(expression, spheroid=True, **extra)

Availability: MariaDB, MySQL, Oracle, PostGIS, SpatiaLite

Accepts a single geographic linestring or multilinestring field or expression and returns its length as a `Distance` measure.

On PostGIS and SpatiaLite, when the coordinates are geodetic (angular), you can specify if the calculation should be based on a simple sphere (less accurate, less resource-intensive) or on a spheroid (more accurate, more resource-intensive) with the `spheroid` keyword argument.

MySQL doesn’t support length calculations on geographic SRSes.
