Four-dimensional Data Types
4D data types exist in a four-coordinate dimension space, where the four coordinates are x (longitude), y (latitude), z (generally elevation above or below sea level), and m (an application-specific measurement).
The z and m values are not considered in geometric calculations or in the generation of new geometry values.
4D types include:
PointZM
LinestringZM
PolygonZM
MultiPointZM
MultiLinestringZM
MultiPolygonZM
GeometryCollectionZM
PolyhedralSurfaceZM
MultiCurveZM
MultiSurfaceZM
CircularStringZM
CompoundCurveZM
CurvePolygonZM
TINZM
TriangleZM
