Name

ST_RasterToWorldCoord — Returns the raster’s upper left corner as geometric X and Y (longitude and latitude) given a column and row. Column and row starts at 1.

Synopsis

record +`*`+ST_RasterToWorldCoord*(`raster `rast, integer xcolumn, integer yrow`)`;

Description

Returns the upper left corner as geometric X and Y (longitude and latitude) given a column and row. Returned X and Y are in geometric units of the georeferenced raster. Numbering of column and row starts at 1 but if either parameter is passed a zero, a negative number or a number greater than the respective dimension of the raster, it will return coordinates outside of the raster assuming the raster’s grid is applicable outside the raster’s bounds.

Availability: 2.1.0
