pgRouting extends the `PostGIS <http://postgis.net>`_/`PostgreSQL <http://postgresql.org>`_ geospatial database to provide geospatial routing and other network analysis functionality.

This is the manual for pgRouting |release|.

Experimental and Proposed functions
*******************************************************************************

This section contains new experimental or proposed signatures for any of the following sections:
  - topology functions
  - routing functions
  - vehicle routing functions
  - pre / post procesing helper functions


We are including them so that the pgRouting community can evaluate them before
including them as an official function of pgRouting.

Some of them are unsupported like the GSoC functions.


*******************************************************************************
Experimental functions: Proposed by Steve Woodbridge
*******************************************************************************

:ref:`convenience_functions`
  -  :ref:`pgr_point_to_edgenode` - convert a point geometry to a ``vertex_id`` based on closest edge.
  -  :ref:`pgr_flip_edges` - flip the edges in an array of geometries so the connect end to end.
  -  :ref:`pgr_text_to_points` - convert a string of ``x,y;x,y;...`` locations into point geometries.
  -  :ref:`pgr_points_to_vids` - convert an array of point geometries into vertex ids.
  -  :ref:`pgr_points_to_dmatrix` - Create a distance matrix from an array of points.
  -  :ref:`pgr_vids_to_dmatrix` - Create a distance matrix from an array of ``vertix_id``.
  -  :ref:`pgr_vids_to_dmatrix2` - Create a distance matrix from an array of ``vertix_id``.

Experimental functions: by GSoC
*******************************************************************************

The following functions are experimental
 - They may lack documentation,
 - Were created by GSoC students.
 - they are unsupported.
 
  -  :ref:`pgr_vrp_basic` - VRP One Depot

Proposed functions: Proposed by Zia Mohammed
*******************************************************************************

About this proposal:
  - Author: Zia Mohammed.
  - Status: Needs a lot of testing. I am working on that.
  - I did not add automated test.
  - Temporary name: pgr_labelGraph
  - Need: I need feedback from the community.

:ref:`developer_functions`


.. warning:: In V3.0 This function are going to be discontinued. Use the already available underscored version instead.

.. warning:: :ref:`developer_functions` documentation is going to be deleted from the pgRouting documentation in V3.0

             
The following functions are used internaly the topology functions.
  -  :ref:`pgr_get_column_name` - to get the name of the column as is stored in the postgres administration tables.
  -  :ref:`pgr_get_table_name` - to retrieve the name of the table as is stored in the postgres administration tables.
  -  :ref:`pgr_is_column_indexed` - to check if the column is indexed.
  -  :ref:`pgr_is_column_in_table` - to check only for the existance of the column.
  -  :ref:`pgr_point_to_id` -to insert/get the id of the inserted point in a vertices table.
  -  :ref:`pgr_quote_ident` - to quotes the input text to be used as an identifier in an SQL statement string.
  -  :ref:`pgr_versionless` - to compare two version numbers.
  -  :ref:`pgr_start_point` - to get the start point of a (multi)linestring.
  -  :ref:`pgr_end_point` - to get the end point of a (multi)linestring.
