Another WKT pkg

[sckott]

you mention the wkb package in the readme - i maintain another package for working with WKT data https://github.com/ropensci/wellknown just in case you hadn't seen it and it's of any help

Thanks @sckott ! Two questions - first: why do you use

list('type' = 'Point', 'coordinates' = c(116.4, 45.2))

and not for instance

list(Point = c(116.4, 52.2))

and second, why can the package generate invalid WKT? My understanding of WKT is that

point(data.frame(1, 2, 3))

should generate point z(1 2 3) or point m(1 2 3), depending on (and indicating what) the 3rd dim means, but not point(1 2 3), however

> point(data.frame(1, 2, 3))
[1] "POINT (1.0000000000000000 2.0000000000000000 3.0000000000000000)"
> lint(point(data.frame(1, 2, 3)))
[1] TRUE

1. first point, agreed, that makes more sense, opened issue for that, as you can see above
2. thanks for pointing that out. I generally haven't taken into account 3d/4d - opened an issue to address that

feel free to close, just letting you know of the pkg :)
