(current description extracted from a comment below
The problem is that currently "urn:x-mongodb:crs:strictwinding:EPSG:4326" is available only for $geoWithin and $geoIntersects, as mentioned on the documentation https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/query/geometry/
I can not specify this property when i insert a polygon and consequently i can not load on the database polygons larger than 180deg
Let me provide an example of what, in my opinion, should be useful to have
europe_asia_box=[[[-2,0], [179, 0], [179, 70],[-2, 70],[-2, 0]]]
db.test_poly.insert({
name: "europe_asia",
loc: {
type: "Polygon",
coordinates: europe_asia_box,
crs: { type: "name", properties: { name: "urn:x-mongodb:crs:strictwinding:EPSG:4326" } }
}
})
Te query above return the erro:
WriteResult({
"nInserted" : 0,
"writeError" : {
"code" : 16755,
"errmsg" : "Can't extract geo keys: { _id: ObjectId('5dfb426687f5bfdd73daa3dd'), name: \"europe_asia\", loc: { type: \"Polygon\", coordinates: [ [ [ -2.0, 0.0 ], [ 179.0, 0.0 ], [ 179.0, 70.0 ], [ -2.0, 70.0 ], [ -2.0, 0.0 ] ] ], crs: { type: \"name\", properties: { name: \"urn:x-mongodb:crs:strictwinding:EPSG:4326\" } } } } can't index geometry with strict winding order"
}
})
If I omit the crs declaration the insert works but the polygon is not considered counterclockwise
db.test_poly.insert({
name: "big_polygon",
loc: {
type: "Polygon",
coordinates: europe_asia_box
}
})
Example: search polygon over Europe return nothing
search_europe=[[[20,40], [25,40], [25, 45],[20, 45],[20, 40]]]
db.test_poly.find(
{
loc: {
$geoIntersects: {
$geometry: {
type: "Polygon" ,
coordinates: search_europe,
crs: {
type: "name",
properties: { name: "urn:x-mongodb:crs:strictwinding:EPSG:4326" }
}
}
}
}
}
)
Example search polygon over America return a record but is not expected, the inserter counterclockwise polygon is over aurope/asia
search_america=[[[-105,40], [-100,40], [-100, 45],[-105, 45],[-105, 40]]]
db.test_poly.find({
loc: {
$geoIntersects: {
$geometry: {
type: "Polygon" ,
coordinates: search_america,
crs: {
type: "name",
properties: { name: "urn:x-mongodb:crs:strictwinding:EPSG:4326" }
}
}
}
}
}
)
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5dfb42a287f5bfdd73daa3de"), "name" : "big_polygon", "loc" : { "type" : "Polygon", "coordinates" : [ [ [ -2, 0 ], [ 179, 0 ], [ 179, 70 ], [ -2, 70 ], [ -2, 0 ] ] ] } }
For mongo the inserted polygon is "on the other side" of the globe.
This appends every time I insert a polygon larger than 180deg. Mongo always close the ring considering the shorter way and i didn't find the possibility to force direction counterclockwise
original description
The latest geoJson standart rfc7946 define unambiguously how the polygon winding order have to be interpreted.
With mongodb is not possible to insert polygon bigger than a single hemisphere and the property { name: "urn:x-mongodb:crs:strictwinding:EPSG:4326" } can be specified only for the $geoWithin and $geoIntersects operators
It could be useful to support the rfc7946 standard and allow operators to specify this property when a new geometry is inserted or extend the existing "strictwinding" prototype also for inserted data and not only for the query operators.
