FromWellKnownText(System.String text)
Initializes a new Geometry instance from a WKT representation.Syntax
public static Geometry FromWellKnownText (
System.String text
)Parameters
text
Type: System.String
The WKT string.
The WKT string.
Return Value
Type: Geometry
A new geometry instance initialized from the specified data or a null reference if the data contains an unsupported WKT geometry.
A new geometry instance initialized from the specified data or a null reference if the data contains an unsupported WKT geometry.
FromWellKnownText(System.String text, System.Boolean switchXY)
Initializes a new Geometry instance from a WKT representation with the ability to swap the X and Y properties.Syntax
public static Geometry FromWellKnownText (
System.String text,
System.Boolean switchXY
)Parameters
text
Type: System.String
The WKT string.
The WKT string.
switchXY
Type: System.Boolean
If set to true, the created geometry will have swapped the values of the X and Y properties.
If set to true, the created geometry will have swapped the values of the X and Y properties.
Return Value
Type: Geometry
A new geometry instance initialized from the specified data or a null reference if the data contains an unsupported WKT geometry.
A new geometry instance initialized from the specified data or a null reference if the data contains an unsupported WKT geometry.
Remarks
This method can be used to re-create a Geometry from a WKT (Well Known Text) representation.
Carmenta Engine can only parse WKT points, line strings, polygons, multi points, multi- line strings, multi polygons and multi geometries. FromWellKnownText will return a null reference if the data contains an unsupported WKT geometry type, for example a TIN or a curve.
Trying to parse an incorrectly formatted WKT representation will result in an exception.
Note
Carmenta Engine can parse WKT representations that include m-coordinates but the m-coordinates will be ignored.
