TGIS_Shape.ImportFromEWKT method

DK for Delphi | GisLayerVector.TGIS_Shape.ImportFromEWKT | Constructors | Fields | Methods | Properties

Import the Extended Well-Known Binary (EWKB) representation of the geometry with SRID meta data into the current shape (see www.postgis.org).

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

// Delphi
public
  procedure ImportFromEWKT(
    const _ewkt : String
  ); virtual;

// C++ Builder
public:
  virtual void ImportFromEWKT(
    const UnicodeString _ewkt
  );

Internally it uses CreateFromEWKT method. If WKT is a different type, the shape will be reset.
