ReQL command: line

Command syntax

r.line([lon1, lat1], [lon2, lat2], ...) → line
r.line(point1, point2, ...) → line

Description

Construct a geometry object of type Line. The line can be specified in one of two ways:

• Two or more two-item arrays, specifying latitude and longitude numbers of the line’s vertices;
• Two or more Point objects specifying the line’s vertices.

Longitude (−180 to 180) and latitude (−90 to 90) of vertices are plotted on a perfect sphere. See Geospatial support for more information on ReQL’s coordinate system.

Example: Define a line.

r.table("geo").insert(
    r.hashMap("id", 101)
     .with("route", r.line(r.array(-122.423246, 37.779388),
                           r.array(-121.88642, 37.329898)))
).run(conn);
