Equals
Two spatial objects are equal when their coordinates match exactly. Synonymous with spatially equivalent.
The order of the points do not matter in determining spatial equivalence:
- LINESTRING(1 2, 4 3) equals LINESTRING(4 3, 1 2).
- POLYGON ((0 0, 1 1, 1 2, 2 2, 2 1, 3 0, 1.5 –1.5, 0 0)) equals POLYGON((1 1 , 1 2, 2 2, 2 1, 3 0, 1.5 –1.5, 0 0, 1 1)).
- MULTILINESTRING((1 2, 4 3),(0 0, –1 –4)) equals MULTILINESTRING((0 0, –1 –4),(1 2, 4 3)).
