Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| h3cell | string |
✔️ | An H3 Cell token value as it was calculated by geo_point_to_h3cell(). |
Returns
An array of H3 cell neighbors. If the H3 Cell is invalid, the query will produce a null result.
Note
If more than immidiate neighbors are needed, please see geo_h3cell_rings().
Examples
The following example calculates H3 cell neighbors.
print neighbors = geo_h3cell_neighbors('862a1072fffffff')
Output
| neighbors |
|---|
| ["862a10727ffffff","862a10707ffffff","862a1070fffffff","862a10777ffffff","862a100dfffffff","862a100d7ffffff"] |
The following example calculates an array of input H3 cell with its neighbors.
let h3cell = '862a1072fffffff';
print cells = array_concat(pack_array(h3cell), geo_h3cell_neighbors(h3cell))
Output
| cells |
|---|
| ["862a1072fffffff","862a10727ffffff","862a10707ffffff","862a1070fffffff","862a10777ffffff","862a100dfffffff","862a100d7ffffff"] |
The following example calculates H3 cells polygons GeoJSON geometry collection.
let h3cell = '862a1072fffffff';
print cells = array_concat(pack_array(h3cell), geo_h3cell_neighbors(h3cell))
| mv-expand cells to typeof(string)
| project polygons = geo_h3cell_to_polygon(cells)
| summarize arr = make_list(polygons)
| project geojson = bag_pack("type", "Feature","geometry", bag_pack("type", "GeometryCollection", "geometries", arr), "properties", bag_pack("name", "polygons"))
Output
