# Cartesian field types
|
|
|
|
Cartesian field types facilitate indexing and searching of points and shapes in a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. Cartesian field types are similar to [geographic]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/opensearch/supported-field-types/geographic/) field types, except they represent points and shapes on the Cartesian plane, which is not based on the Earth-fixed terrestrial reference system. Calculating distances on a plane is more efficient than calculating distances on a sphere, so distance sorting is faster for Cartesian field types.
|
|
|
|
Cartesian field types work well for spatial applications like virtual reality, computer-aided design (CAD), and amusement park and sporting venue mapping.
|
|
|
|
The coordinates for the Cartesian field types are single-precision floating-point values. For information about the range and precision of floating-point values, see [Numeric field types]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/opensearch/supported-field-types/numeric/).
|
|
|
|
The following table lists all Cartesian field types that OpenSearch supports.
|
|
|
|
Field Data type | Description
|
|
:--- | :---
|
|
[`xy_point`]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/opensearch/supported-field-types/xy-point/) | A point in a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, specified by x and y coordinates.
|
|
[`xy_shape`]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/opensearch/supported-field-types/xy-shape/) | A shape, such as a polygon or a collection of xy points, in a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system.
|
|
|
|
Currently, OpenSearch supports indexing and searching of Cartesian field types but not aggregations on Cartesian field types. If you'd like to see aggregations implemented, open a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/opensearch-project/geospatial).
