Class: module:org/locationtech/jts/io/WKTReader

module:org/locationtech/jts/io/WKTReader(geometryFactory)

Converts a geometry in Well-Known Text format to a Geometry.

WKTReader supports extracting Geometry objects from either Readers or Strings. This allows it to function as a parser to read Geometry objects from text blocks embedded in other data formats (e.g. XML).

Constructor

new module:org/locationtech/jts/io/WKTReader(geometryFactory)

A WKTReader is parameterized by a GeometryFactory, to allow it to create Geometry objects of the appropriate implementation. In particular, the GeometryFactory determines the PrecisionModel and SRID that is used.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
geometryFactory GeometryFactory
