STIsRing (geometry)

STIsRing (geometry)#

Returns 1 if a geometry instance fulfills the following requirements:

  • It is a LineString instance.

  • It is closed.

  • It is simple.

Returns 0 if the LineString instance does not meet the requirements. For a geometry instance to be closed and simple, both STIsClosed() and STIsSimple() must return 1 when invoked on the instance. To determine the instance type of a geometry, use STGeometryType().

Syntax#

.STIsRing ()

Return type#

bit

Remarks#

This method returns null if the instance is not a LineString.

Example#

Create a LineString instance and use STIsRing() to test whether the instance is a ring.

DECLARE @g geometry;
SET @g = geometry::STGeomFromText('LINESTRING(0 0, 2 2, 1 0, 0 0)', 0);
SELECT @g.STIsRing();
