Method Detail

fromWkt

public static Geometry fromWkt(String wkt)

Decodes the specified WKT String to a Geometry.

This method uses the default WKT dialect (Postgis v1.5 EWKT)

Parameters:

wkt - the WKT string to decode

Returns:

The decoded Geometry

toWkt

public static String toWkt(Geometry geometry)

Encodes a Geometry to a WKT representation.

This method uses the default WKT dialect (Postgis v1.5 EWKT)

Parameters:

geometry - the Geometry to encode

Returns:

the WKT representation of the given geometry

newDecoder

public static WktDecoder newDecoder(Wkt.Dialect dialect)

Creates a WktDecoder for the specified WKT Dialect.

Parameters:

dialect - the WKT dialect

Returns:

an WktDecoder that supports the specified dialect

newDecoder

public static WktDecoder newDecoder()
