 Priority:  minor            |  Milestone:  3.6.3
Component:  Default          |    Version:  3.6.2
 Severity:  Feature Request  |   Keywords:  WKT
-----------------------------+--------------------------
 I am using rgeos::writeWKT() to export geo data for import into Microsoft
 SQLServer.
 Sadly, the server is picky about the polygon orientation (ie., clockwise,
 counter-clockwise).

 However, rgeos::writeWKT() does not support to to define the orientation.
 It would be awesome to add this option.

 Workaround for me:
 So far, I convert the (wrongly inverted) polygons in SQLServer by checking
 the actual size and if too large invert them.
