[postgis-users] Problem with WKB

[Lars Rößiger]

This looks strange to me, I fiddled around with the second Polygon. Now
when I compare the WKB of the two Polygons, there are differences, i.e.
the encoding in the first Polygon is written as "00000001", in the
second Polygon "01". Is there any reason for this?

01       = NDR
06       = wkbMultiPolygon
00000002 = num_wkbPolygons

  00000001 = NDR                // Polygon 1
  03       = wkbPolygon
  00000001 = numRings

    0000004C = numPoints
    030000   = ???

  01       = NDR                // Polygon 2
  03       = wkbPolygon
  00000001 = numRings

    0000001C = numPoints
    000000   = ???
