Applies to: ✅ Microsoft Fabric ✅ Azure Data Explorer ✅ Azure Monitor ✅ Microsoft Sentinel
Calculates the intersection of two lines or multilines.
Syntax
geo_intersection_2lines(
lineString1,
lineString2)

Parameters
Name | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
lineString1 | dynamic |
✔️ | A line or multiline in the GeoJSON format. |
lineString2 | dynamic |
✔️ | A line or multiline in the GeoJSON format. |
Returns
Intersection in GeoJSON Format and of a dynamic data type. If LineString or a MultiLineString are invalid, the query will produce a null result.
Note
- The geospatial coordinates are interpreted as represented by the WGS-84 coordinate reference system.
- The geodetic datum used to measure distance on Earth is a sphere. Line edges are geodesics on the sphere.
- If input line edges are straight cartesian lines, consider using geo_line_densify() in order to convert planar edges to geodesics.
LineString definition and constraints
dynamic({"type": "LineString","coordinates": [[lng_1,lat_1], [lng_2,lat_2],..., [lng_N,lat_N]]})
dynamic({"type": "MultiLineString","coordinates": [[line_1, line_2,..., line_N]]})
- LineString coordinates array must contain at least two entries.
- Coordinates [longitude, latitude] must be valid where longitude is a real number in the range [-180, +180] and latitude is a real number in the range [-90, +90].
- Edge length must be less than 180 degrees. The shortest edge between the two vertices will be chosen.
Tip
Use literal LineString or MultiLineString for better performance.
Examples
The following example calculates intersection between two lines. In this case, the result is a point.
let lineString1 = dynamic({"type":"LineString","coordinates":[[-73.978929,40.785155],[-73.980903,40.782621]]});
let lineString2 = dynamic({"type":"LineString","coordinates":[[-73.985195,40.788275],[-73.974552,40.779761]]});
print intersection = geo_intersection_2lines(lineString1, lineString2)
Output
intersection |
---|
{"type": "Point","coordinates": [-73.979837116670978,40.783989289772165]} |
The following example calculates intersection between two lines. In this case, the result is a line.
let line = dynamic({"type":"LineString","coordinates":[[-73.978929,40.785155],[-73.980903,40.782621]]});
print intersection = geo_intersection_2lines(line, line)
Output
intersection |
---|
{"type": "LineString","coordinates": [[ -73.978929, 40.785155],[ -73.980903, 40.782621]]} |
The following two lines don't intersect.
let lineString1 = dynamic({"type":"LineString","coordinates":[[1, 1],[2, 2]]});
let lineString2 = dynamic({"type":"LineString","coordinates":[[3, 3],[4, 4]]});
print intersection = geo_intersection_2lines(lineString1, lineString2)
Output
intersection |
---|
{"type": "GeometryCollection", "geometries": []} |
The following example will return a null result because one of lines is invalid.
let lineString1 = dynamic({"type":"LineString","coordinates":[[1, 1],[2, 2]]});
let lineString2 = dynamic({"type":"LineString","coordinates":[[3, 3]]});
print invalid = isnull(geo_intersection_2lines(lineString1, lineString2))
Output
invalid |
