ST_Shear

ST_Shear takes a geometry column and two numbers and returns a geometry column. The result is the input geometry with its coordinates translated to a distance proportional to the original coordinate values. The proportions used for x and y coordinates are specified with the proportion_x and proportion_y parameters respectively.

FunctionSyntax
Pythonshear(geometry, proportion_x, proportion_y)
SQLST_Shear(geometry, proportion_x, proportion_y)
Scalashear(geometry, proportionX, proportionY)
