Field Type Label Description
shape One Of

The specific shape of this geometry. Required.

point Point

A point is the fundamental geometry construct. A point position on the Earth.

line​_​string Line​String

A line string, sometimes refered to as a polyline. Consists of two or more points where each consecutive pair of points is linked with a straight line.

polygon Polygon

The exterior ring winds counter-clockwise and the interior rings wind clockwise. Rings do not cross each other, but any pair of rings may touch at one point. Interior rings are contained inside the exterior ring.

multi​_​point Multi​Point

A collection of points.

multi​_​line​_​string Multi​Line​String

A collection of line strings.

multi​_​polygon Multi​Polygon

A collection of polygons.

prism Prism

A three-dimensional solid with a polygonal base, ground clearance, and top height.

multi​_​prism Multi​Prism
