27 SDO_PC_PKG Package (Point Clouds)

This chapter contains descriptions of the point cloud subprograms shown in Table 27-1.

Table 27-1 Point Cloud Subprograms

Subprogram Description

SDO_PC_PKG.CLIP_PC

Performs a clip operation on a point cloud.

SDO_PC_PKG.CLIP_PC_FLAT

Performs a clip operation on a flat-format point cloud, in which the point cloud data is stored in a flat table.

SDO_PC_PKG.CREATE_CONTOUR_GEOMETRIES

Generates contour lines for a point cloud.

SDO_PC_PKG.CREATE_PC

Creates a point cloud using the points specified in the inptable parameter.

SDO_PC_PKG.DROP_DEPENDENCIES

Drops the dependencies between a point cloud block table and a specified base table and column.

SDO_PC_PKG.INIT

Initializes a point cloud.

SDO_PC_PKG.TO_GEOMETRY

Returns a geometry object representing all or part of a point cloud.

To use the subprograms in this package, you must understand the main concepts related to three-dimensional geometries, including the use of point clouds to model solids. Three-Dimensional Spatial Objects describes support for three-dimensional geometries, Modeling Solids describes the use of point clouds to model solids, and Point Cloud-Related Object Types describes data types related to point clouds.
