### Bounds ###

Returns an array of the bounding coordinates of the input geometry -
`{xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax}`. Useful for interfacing with software outside of
PostGIS, among other things.

If an SRID is specified the output will be the bounds of the reprojected
geometry, not a reprojected bounding box.

__Parameters:__

- `geometry` g - Any geometry
- `integer` srid (optional) - The desired output SRID of the bounds, if
  different from the input.

__Returns:__ `float[]` - an array of 4 floats, `{xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax}`

### LabelGrid ###

Returns a "hash" of a geometry's position on a specified grid to use in a GROUP
BY clause. Useful for limiting the density of points or calculating a localized
importance ranking.

This function is most useful on point geometries intended for label placement
(eg points of interest) but will accept any geometry type. It is usually used
as part of either a `DISTINCT ON` expression or a `rank()` window function.

__Parameters:__

- `geometry` g - A geometry.
- `numeric` grid_size - The cell size of the desired grouping grid.

__Returns:__ `text` - A text representation of the labelgrid cell

            SELECT id, name, class, population, geom FROM city_points

### LargestPart ###

Returns the largest single part of a multigeometry.

- Given a multipolygon or a geometrycollection containing at least one polygon,
  this function will return the single polygon with the largest area.
- Given a multilinestring or a geometrycollection containing at least one
  linestring and no polygons, this function will return the single linestring
  with the longest length.
- Given a single point, line, or polygon, the original geometry will be
  returned.
- Given any other geometry type the result of `ST_GeometryN(<geom>, 1)` will be
  returned. (See the documentation for that function.)
