[OpenLayers-Dev] reading WKT Format and GEOMETRYCOLLECTIONS

[Marc Jansen]

Hi List,

When using the WKT Format and feeding it -- via read() -- a 
GEOMETRYCOLLECTION we return an array of single features having 
geometries that represent the parts of the GEOMETRYCOLLECTION . It is 
AFAIK not possible to return one feature with a geometry of type 
OpenLayers.Geometry.Collection.

Shouldn't we make it configurable how to handle GEOMETRYCOLLECTIONs?

And BTW, shouldn't read and write be APIMethods (at least for Format.WKT 
they aren't)

Regards,
Marc
