DK for ActiveX | TatukGIS_XDK11.ITGIS_Shape.ImportFromWKT | Methods | Properties

Replaces the current geometry by parsing Well-Known Text (WKT) in place.

Available also on: Delphi | .NET | Java | Python.

// C#
public void ImportFromWKT(
  WideString _wkt
);

' VisualBasic
Public Sub ImportFromWKT(
  ByVal _wkt As WideString
)

// Oxygene
public
  procedure ImportFromWKT(
    _wkt : WideString
  );

PURPOSE: Replaces the current shape geometry from WKT (Well-Known Text), the OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) standard text representation for vector geometry.

BEHAVIOR: Parses the WKT content and updates this shape in place with the decoded geometry.

CONSTRAINTS: Existing geometry is overwritten. WKT does not carry CRS (Coordinate Reference System) metadata. Malformed input raises an exception.
