- WKT is a general markup format in ASCII.
- It is described in detail on [@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-known_text Wikipedia]
- Boost Geometry supports the common formats (POINT, LINESTRING, POLYGON, MULTIPOINT, MULTILINESTRING, MULTIPOLYGON).
- Because Boost.Geometry also supports Box and Segment geometries, which are not standard OGC geometries, there are some extensions:
- [heading Box]
- * can be read from WKT by specifying either a polygon (with 4 points) or a specific BOX string (non OGC)
- * streamed to WKT as a POLYGON
- [heading Segment]
- * can be read from WKT by specifying either a linestring (with 2 points) or a specific SEGMENT string (non OGC)
- * streamed to WKT as a LINESTRING
- [heading Ring]
- * can be read from WKT by specifying a polygon (with no holes)
- * streamed to WKT as POLYGON
