Topology - Family of Functions
The following functions modify the database directly therefore the user must have special permissions given by the administrators to use them.
pgr_createTopology - create a topology based on the geometry.
pgr_createVerticesTable - reconstruct the vertices table based on the source and target information.
pgr_analyzeGraph - to analyze the edges and vertices of the edge table.
pgr_analyzeOneWay - to analyze directionality of the edges.
pgr_nodeNetwork - to create nodes to a not noded edge table.
Traveling Sales Person - Family of functions
pgr_TSP - When input is given as matrix cell information.
pgr_TSPeuclidean - When input are coordinates.
pgr_trsp - Proposed - Turn Restriction Shortest Path (TRSP)
Functions by categories¶
