- Description
- Data set used by ESRI ArcView, a geographic analysis application; stores a collection of geographic features, such as streets, points of interest, and zip code boundaries; can be used to store point, line, or area features.
- A WKT file holds the shapes of a map as plain Well-Known Text, one geometry per line, such as POINT (18.068 59.329) or MULTIPOLYGON (((18.06 59.328,18.065 59.328,18.065 59.325,18.06 59.325))). It is the geometry-only form of WKT that PostGIS, shapely, QGIS and other GIS tools read.
