◆ GeometryType

Definition at line 140 of file qgswkbtypes.h.

◆ Type

The WKB type describes the number of dimensions a geometry has.

  • Point
  • LineString
  • Polygon

as well as the number of dimensions for each individual vertex

  • X (always)
  • Y (always)
  • Z (optional)
  • M (measurement value, optional)

it also has values for multi types, collections, unknown geometry, null geometry, no geometry and curve support.

These classes of geometry are often used for data sources to communicate what kind of geometry should be expected for a given geometry field. It is also used for tools or algorithms to decide if they should be available for a given geometry type or act in a different mode.
