Geometry Types

The following Geometry types can be specified in a feature or mapping request:

Name	Description
Point	An (x,y,z) location. Java Example C# Example
MultiPoint	The collection of point geometries. Java Example C# Example
Polygon	A geometry consisting of exactly one exterior ring and zero or more interior rings. Each interior ring represents a hole completely inside the area defined by the exterior ring. Polygons with self-intersections or overlaps are not supported. Java Example C# Example
MultiPolygon	The collection of polygon geometries. Java Example C# Example
Envelope	An envelope is a rectangle defined using two points (i.e., lower-left and upper-right) whose sides are parallel to the coordinate system axes. An envelope can be used as the bounds for map rendering, or as a minimum bounding rectangle for enclosing a geometry. Java Example C# Example
Ring	A closed curve of line strings. Java Example C# Example
LineString	An ordered collection of points connected by straight lines. Java Example C# Example
Curve	An ordered connected sequence of line strings. Java Example C# Example
MultiCurve	An unordered collection of zero or more curves. Java Example C# Example
LegacyText	Text that is of MapInfo native table type. Java Example C# Example
