NAME

Geo::WKT::Simple - Simple utils to parse/build Well Known Text(WKT) format string.

SYNOPSIS

use Geo::WKT::Simple;           # Export all
or
use Geo::WKT::Simple ':parse';  # Only WKT parser functions
or
use Geo::WKT::Simple ':make';   # Only WKT builder functions

# WKT POINT
wkt_parse_point('POINT(10 20)');                  #=> (10 20)
wkt_make_point(10, 20);                           #=> POINT(10 20)

# WKT LINESTRING
wkt_parse_linestring('LINESTRING(1 2, 3 4)');     #=> ([ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ])
wkt_make_linestring([ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ]);          #=> LINESTRING(1 2, 3 4)

# WKT POLYGON
wkt_parse_polygon('POLYGON((1 2, 3 4, 5 6, 1 2), (1 2, 3 4, 5 6, 1 2))');
#=> (
#      [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ], [ 5, 6 ], [ 1, 2 ] ],
#      [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ], [ 5, 6 ], [ 1, 2 ] ],
#   )
wkt_make_polygon([
    [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ], [ 5, 6 ], [ 1, 2 ] ],
    [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ], [ 5, 6 ], [ 1, 2 ] ],
]) #=> 'POLYGON((1 2, 3 4, 5 6, 1 2), (1 2, 3 4, 5 6, 1 2))'

# And like so on for (MULTI)LINESTRING|POLYGON

# WKT GEOMETRYCOLLECTION
wkt_parse_geometrycollection(
    'GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(POINT(10 20), LINESTRING(10 20, 30 40))'
); #=> ([ POINT => [ 10, 20 ] ], [ LINESTRING => [ [ 10, 20 ], [ 30, 40 ] ] ])
wkt_make_geometrycollection(
    [ POINT => [ 10, 20 ] ], [ LINESTRING => [ [ 10, 20 ], [ 30, 40 ] ] ]
); #=> 'GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(POINT(10 20), LINESTRING(10 20, 30 40))'



# If you don't like too many exported symbols:
use Geo::WKT::Simple qw/ wkt_parse wkt_make /;
wkt_parse(POINT => 'POINT(10 20)');
wkt_make(POINT => [ 10, 20 ]);

DESCRIPTION

Geo::WKT::Simple is a module to provide simple parser/builder for Well Known Text(WKT) format string.

This module can parse/build WKT format string into/from pure perl data structure.

Why not Geo::WKT ?

There is few reasons.

• - I just need simple return value represented by pure perl data structure. Geo::WKT returns results as a Geo::* instances which represents each type of geodetic components.
• - Geo::Proj4 dependencies. Geo::Proj4 depends to libproj4
• - I need to support MULTI(LINESTRING|POLYGON).

FUNCTIONS

See SYNOPSIS section for usages.

wkt_parse_point()

Parse WKT Point string.

wkt_parse_linestring()

Parse WKT Linestring string.

wkt_parse_multilinestring()

Parse WKT MultiLinestring string.

wkt_parse_polygon()

Parse WKT Polygon string.

wkt_parse_multipolygon()

Parse WKT MultiPolygon string.

wkt_parse_geometrycollection()

Parse WKT GeometryCollection string.

wkt_parse()

Dispatch to parser which specified in first argument.

wkt_parse(POINT => 'POINT(10 20)') is equivalent to wkt_parse_point('POINT(10 20)')

wkt_make_point()

Build WKT Point string.

wkt_make_linestring()

Build WKT Linestring string.

wkt_make_multilinestring()

Build WKT MultiLinestring string.

wkt_make_polygon()

Build WKT Polygon string.

wkt_make_multipolygon()

Build WKT MultiPolygon string.

wkt_make_geometrycollection()

Build WKT GeometryCollection string.

wkt_make()

Dispatch to builder function which specified in first argument.

wkt_make(POINT => [ 10, 20 ]) is equivalent to wkt_make_point(10, 20)
