Geometry Types

The following Geometry types can be specified in a feature or mapping request:

Name Description

Point

An (x,y,z) location.

Java Example C# Example

MultiPoint

The collection of point geometries.

Java Example C# Example

Polygon

A geometry consisting of exactly one exterior ring and zero or more interior rings. Each interior ring represents a hole completely inside the area defined by the exterior ring. Polygons with self-intersections or overlaps are not supported.

Java Example C# Example

MultiPolygon

The collection of polygon geometries.

Java Example C# Example

Envelope

An envelope is a rectangle defined using two points (i.e., lower-left and upper-right) whose sides are parallel to the coordinate system axes. An envelope can be used as the bounds for map rendering, or as a minimum bounding rectangle for enclosing a geometry.

Java Example C# Example

Ring

A closed curve of line strings.

Java Example C# Example

LineString

An ordered collection of points connected by straight lines.

Java Example C# Example

Curve

An ordered connected sequence of line strings.

Java Example C# Example

MultiCurve

An unordered collection of zero or more curves.

Java Example C# Example

LegacyText

Text that is of MapInfo native table type.
