[mapguide-users] Re: How to render MgMultiGeometry

[Jonio, Dennis (Aviation)]

Zak,
I did do just a bit more research. Yes, you dialoged on the issue back
in Dec. 2007 and it looks to me that the _issue_ has gotten worse or, at
best, stayed the same.

>From the FDO API reference:
The FdoIMultiGeometry class is a heterogeneous MultiGeometry type. 

>From the MapGuide API Reference:
An MgMultiGeometry is a heterogeneous aggregate of one or more
MgGeometry objects. 

I went ahead and tested the homogeneous _multi_geometry types with the
SDF and KingOra providers, both seem to work well with all of the types.

As far as heterogeneous geometry objects(point,line), (line,surface) go,
as I noted earlier, KingOra adds the record but with a null geometry
column. SDF does not even add the record. No error in the logs. Looks
like Gunter is outa' luck.

For my part I am not going to pursue the issue since we have no real
practical use for those types of collections but I can envision them
being useful for some.
