Class PolygonFunction

All Implemented Interfaces:
ADQLObject, ADQLOperand

public class PolygonFunction extends GeometryFunction

It represents the POLYGON function of the ADQL language.

This function expresses a region on the sky with sides denoted by great circles passing through specified coordinates. It corresponds semantically to the STC Polygon region. The arguments specify the coordinate system and three or more sets of 2-D coordinates.

The polygon is a list of vertices in a single coordinate system, with each vertex connected to the next along a great circle and the last vertex implicitly connected to the first vertex.

Example:
POLYGON('ICRS GEOCENTER', 10.0, -10.5, 20.0, 20.5, 30.0, 30.5)
In this example the function expresses a triangle, whose vertices are (10.0, -10.5), (20.0, 20.5) and (30.0, 30.5) in degrees according to the STC coordinate system with GEOCENTER reference position.
