OGC Well Known Text (WKT) Reader

The OGC Well Known Text (WKT) Reader allows FME to read features stored in the Well Known Text encoded file format.

Overview

The Well Known Text format stores geometry in plain text. Supported geometries include points, lines, polygons and donuts. Geometries are stored in a text file with one geometry per line.

Reader Overview

The Well Known Text Reader produces FME features for all feature data held in a WKT file. The Well Known Text Reader extracts features one at a time from the file and passes them on to the rest of FME for further processing. It is possible to have extra information within the file such as a header or descriptive text however this unformatted text will need to be skipped using the parameters provided.
