cts:geospatial-region-path-reference( $path-expression as xs:string, [$options as xs:string*], [$namespaces as map:map] ) as cts:reference
Create a reference to a geospatial region path index, for use as a parameter to cts:geospatial-region-query and other query operations on geospatial region indexes. This function throws an exception if the specified region path index does not exist.
precision
option takes precedence over
that implied by the governing coordinate system name, including the
value of the coordinate-system
option. For example, if the
governing coordinate system is "wgs84/double" and the precision
option is "float", then the reference uses single precision. An exception
is thrown if an index with the specified precision does not exist.
