    Geometry symmetric difference

    Supported in: Batch, Streaming

    Calculates the portion that is in either geometry, but not in their intersection.

    Expression categories: Geospatial

    Declared arguments

    • Geometry a - Geometry b.
      Expression<Geometry>
    • Geometry b - Geometry a.
      Expression<Geometry>

    Output type: Geometry
