< The <code>v7proj4</code> plugin automatically applies the <code><nowiki>RAD_TO_DEG</nowiki></code> multiplier before conversion and/or the <code><nowiki>RAD_TO_DEG</nowiki></code> multiplier after conversion, when source and/or destination coordinate systems are latitude-longitude or geocentric. Even if this conversion is done automatically, you should remember that it happens, because many "how-to" instructions for spatial data sets contain paragraphs like "how to convert these data to WGS-84" and much sample C/C++ code contains transformations like <code><nowiki>{ x *= RAD_TO_DEG; y *= RAD_TO_DEG; }</nowiki></code>. These transformations will probably be redundant in the corresponding Virtuoso/PL code, while <code>proj4</code> strings can be used unchanged and simply passed as the 3rd and 4th arguments of the [[http://docs.openlinksw.com/virtuoso/fn_ST_Transform.html][ST_Transform()]] function. If degrees-to-radians conversion is made twice, the data may be calculated as if the shape is located in a totally different place of ellipsoid. If the post-transformation radians-to-degrees conversion is also made twice, the resulting shape may <i>look</i> like the real one but coordinates may be tens of kilometers away from the correct values.

> %BR% checks whether <code><nowiki>haystack_shape</nowiki></code> contains the <code><nowiki>needle_shape</nowiki></code>. If <code>proximity</code> is specified, it is treated as an extra wide border around <code><nowiki>haystack_shape</nowiki></code>. In current version, only a combination of bounding box and a point is supported; this functionality will be extended in the next release.
