WKTReader requiring uppercase keywords?

Folks,

Does anyone know why the WKTReader requires the WKT keywords like "POINT" to
be in upper case?   This seems needlessly pendantic, and I'd like to relax
it so that mixed and lower case keywords work as well.  This is convenient
for me when hand preparing WKT for SQL operations.

Best regards,

Is there a license problem to use GEOS in iPhone App?

Hello,

I want to use GEOS in iPhone App, as base of spatialite library.
But GEOS is LGPL License, and Apple forces all Applications must be
made as Static linked binary.

Is there any way to use GEOS in iPhone App?

Regards,

Ko-hei

The LGPL doesn't forbid static linking -- it just requires that you
provide a relinkable version.  Basically, if you provide the .o files
and makefiles for your proprietary app, and the source code for GEOS,
then users can change the library and rebuild your app.

However, you're going to have a *different* problem:

Original OGC spefication of BNF was not clear about case-sensitivity of
Well-Known-Text
and perhaps GEOS assumed it's safer to follow WKT examples presented by OGC.
More recent spec is more specific and says: "Well known text is case
insensitive."

There was similar discussion http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/332

Mateusz,

Excellent, I'll make the WKTReader case insensitive.

Re: SWIG Ruby bindings on OS X


Hi there, I came across this post and thought I'd share my experiences. This
may be out of date, but here's the last crucial step I took to get it
working:

On Mac OS you need to rename the "geos.so" file in the ruby extension/plugin
directory to "geos.bundle". When you do the ./configure step above it will
display what your system's ruby extension directory is. You will need to
scroll up through the output to find the line: "Ruby extension directory is
'XYZ'. So, for e.g., if your ruby extension directory is
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-darwin8.10.1/ then do the following:

 cd /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-darwin8.10.1/
 mv geos.so geos.bundle

Confirm correct installation by requiring GEOS in irb, you should have the
result "true":

 irb
 irb(main):001:0> require 'geos'
 => true

Thanks, David, I forgot about it.
Your advice is very helpful for me.

Missing const on Geometry::isWithinDistance

Hi,

It seems that the method Geometry::isWithinDistance is const while not
flagged as such. Could it be possible to make it const ?

Thanks,
