Determining Relationships Between geometry Instances

The geometry data type provides many built-in methods you can use to determine relationships between two geometry instances.

To determine if two instances comprise the same point set

STEquals

To determine if two instances are disjoint

STDisjoint

To determine if two instances intersect

STIntersects

To determine if two instances touch

STTouches

To determine if two instances overlap

STOverlaps

To determine if two instances cross

STCrosses

To determine if one instance is within another

STWithin

To determine if one instance contains another

STContains

To determine if one instance overlaps another

STOverlaps

To determine if two instances are spatially related

STRelate

To determine the shortest distance between points in two geometries

STDistance
