Description

We current support point, polygon, circle, and rectangle. The GIS world has more data shapes as described in Well-know text. PostGIS is also a good referecne. It will be very nice we can support all standard spatial object internally and can parse/format the spatial object in a "well-known" way. e.g. well-know format or geojson format
