Indexing for geographical objects

Hi,

I'm developping a geographical object type, very close to the geographic
type of PG. For the moment it is set up as external functions...

I would like to add indexing capabilities, and I have seen that indexing for
PG geographical objects is on the TODO list for 7.1.

I would like to get in touch with the person maintaining this part of the
code, and see if I could transfer some of these algorithms to my code...

At the end, these new geo objects could be incorporated in PG, but that up
to the PG dev team...

Cheers..

Re: Indexing for geographical objects

We certainly would like to have them. Can you send a patch that applies
against our current CVS snapshot.
