Hi,
I have a couple of questions about the order of lattitude and longitude in
WKT representations of geometries:
1. Is there an objective reference that states in what order WGS84
(geographic) coordinates should be represented in a WKT? Is it lon, lat
(because of x,y) or lat,lon (because it's geodetic) ?
2. Does postgis use the correct representation?
3. Is there a way to switch lat and lon for a polygon when representing
as WKT? All i think of is looping through all points, switching x and y and
then returning astext(g)
Cheers,
