PostGIS 1.5.8 Manual258 / 310DescriptionReturns X maxima of a bounding box 2d or 3d or a geometry.NoteAlthough this function is only defined for box3d, it will work for box2d and geometry because of the auto-casting behaviordefined for geometries and box2d. However you can not feed it a geometry or box2d text represenation, since that willnot auto-cast.This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.This method supports Circular Strings and CurvesExamplesSELECT ST_XMax(’BOX3D(1 2 3, 4 5 6)’);st_xmax-------4SELECT ST_XMax(ST_GeomFromText(’LINESTRING(1 3 4, 5 6 7)’));st_xmax-------5SELECT ST_XMax(CAST(’BOX(-3 2, 3 4)’ As box2d));st_xmax-------3--Observe THIS DOES NOT WORK because it will try to autocast the string representation to a ←↪BOX3DSELECT ST_XMax(’LINESTRING(1 3, 5 6)’);--ERROR:BOX3D parser - doesnt start with BOX3D(SELECT ST_XMax(ST_GeomFromEWKT(’CIRCULARSTRING(220268 150415 1,220227 150505 2,220227150406 3)’));st_xmax--------220288.248780547←↪See AlsoST_XMin, ST_YMax, ST_YMin, ST_ZMax, ST_ZMin7.12.12 ST_XMinST_XMin — Returns X minima of a bounding box 2d or 3d or a geometry.Synopsisfloat ST_XMin(box3d aGeomorBox2DorBox3D);
