Class Geography


  • public class Geography
    extends Geometry
    A semantic type for a Geography class. Used to describe geometries operating on a spherical base (rather than Geometry which operates on a planar basis). This is extremely similar to a Geometry – but they're quite different types and not in a hierarchy.

    See the Open Geospatial Consortium Simple Features Access specification for details on the Well-Known-Binary format http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/sfa

    WKB has to be forwards-compatible to the spec, so strict OGC WKB, and EWKB (PostGIS) are both ok.
