πŸ“Œ A .WKT specification terms describe a particular vector geometry object instance in the Well-Known Text (briefly, WKT) open pattern arrangement. In practice, the .WKT extension layout encompasses one or more compound sets of plain text-wrapped coordinates that maintain individual polygons, lines, and/or points. Specifically, the .WKT format formations can be overlaid on certain GIS maps to denote respective areas of interest.

The .WKT standard principles and methodologies have been founded and invented by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) organization as an integral element of their Simple Featured Access tech program. This initiative recognizes and acknowledges common access and storage models for diverse geographic features, particularly 2D geometric features. A solid range of GIS tools and utilities may export and import file layouts stored in the Simple Featured Access representation, such as .WKT logical shape.

Most .WKT file entries encompass a sequential range of polygons, lines, and/or points that map specific areas of interest on an associated geographic map or terrain. For instance, a .WKT schema may grasp a set of polygons that explicitly define the outcome shape of a city’s voting districts. These proper shapes and points are described in plain text view, using number-based digital coordinates. Therefore, geometries can consist of single polygons, lines, points, or multiple polygons, lines, and points linked together.

How to open an .WKT file?

πŸ“Œ The .WKT file assets can be processed, operated and opened up by QGIS suite or any accustomed text editor in your accessibility area. Furthermore, in exceptional situations it is suggested and offered to take service of Wicket web-service, runnable from any general web-browser.
