Using spatial types

Create a 2D point

Select the correct way to create a 2D point representing San Francisco’s coordinates.

point := neo4j./*select:Point2D*/{
    X: -122.4194,  // longitude
    Y: 37.7749,    // latitude
    SpatialRefId: 4326,
}

Hint

For 2D coordinates (latitude and longitude), use the 2D point type.

Solution

The correct answer is Point2D.

point := neo4j.Point2D{
    X: -122.4194,  // longitude
    Y: 37.7749,    // latitude
    SpatialRefId: 4326,
}

Point2D is used for 2D spatial coordinates, while Point3D would be used for 3D coordinates that include altitude.

In this lesson, you learned how to work with spatial types in Neo4j using the Go driver.

You have now completed the module on handling results. In the next module, you will learn about best practices for production applications.
