This tutorial demonstrates how to work with WKT (Well-Known Text) data in your mapping application. WKT is a text markup language for representing vector geometry objects, providing a compact and human-readable way to exchange geospatial data between systems.
You'll learn how to:
- Create a WKT reader to parse geographic data
- Read WKT strings representing different geometry types (points, lines, polygons, multipolygons)
- Convert WKT strings into map features
- Add WKT-based features to a vector layer for display on the map
WKT support is essential for interoperability in GIS applications, allowing you to easily import and export geographic data in a standardized text format. This capability enables your application to integrate with various geospatial databases, services, and legacy systems that use the WKT format for spatial data representation.
