Alteryx 2011 - New Features - New Spatial Functions

Alteryx 2011 adds two new spatial functions to the formula toolbox:

• ST_CreateLine(point1, point2, ...)
• ST_CreatePolygon(obj1, obj2, ...)

Which pretty much do what they say.

So ST_CreateLine(ST_CreatePoint(1,1), ST_CreatePoint(1,2), ST_CreatePoint(2,2),  ST_CreatePoint(2,1)) gives us a spatial line:

and ST_CreatePolygon(ST_CreatePoint(1,1), ST_CreatePoint(1,2), ST_CreatePoint(2,2), ST_CreatePoint(2,1)) gives us a polygon:

Great for creating your own charts (e.g. Gannt or Polar) or other interesting uses of Alteryx's spatial functions.
