| WKT is a general markup format in ASCII. It is described in detail on |
| <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-known_text" target="_top">Wikipedia</a> |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Boost Geometry supports the common formats (POINT, LINESTRING, POLYGON, |
| MULTIPOINT, MULTILINESTRING, MULTIPOLYGON). |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Because Boost.Geometry also supports Box and Segment geometries, which |
| are not standard OGC geometries, there are some extensions: |
