Hi strk,
Well I can see mention of validity in the OGC spec (see page 20), but I
can't find anything that says invalid geometries should not be accepted? I
also know that we have some polygons here consisting of a single ring with 3
points - does this mean that they cannot be used with any of the GEOS
functions?
Kind regards,
Mark.
