Can anyone help clarify how teh various make polygon functions work?
I have a set of roughly parallel lines (depth contours)
The table also includes lines crossing these contour lines
20m 50m 100m 150m

I want to take all these lines & build polygons from them, generating vertices
where the lines cross (polygons ABCDEF)
I thought this was what polygonize() did, but having had a brief play with it,
I believe this is not true, instead all it seems to do is turn closed lines
into polygons, & perhaps include holes from closed lines inside other closed
lines.
Is there any way in PostGIS to take a set of intersecting lines as above &
deriving the polygons from them?
Thanks,
Brent Wood
