◆ bbox_type()

bool bbox_type ( meosType  bboxtype)

Bounding box operators for temporal types.

The bounding box of temporal values are

  • a Period for temporal Booleans
  • a TBox for temporal integers and floats, where the x coordinate is for the value dimension and the t coordinate is for the time dimension. The following operators are defined: overlaps, contains, contained, same, and adjacent.

The operators consider as many dimensions as they are shared in both arguments: only the value dimension, only the time dimension, or both the value and the time dimensions.

Return true if the type is a bounding box type
