Hallo Andrea Excuse me for disturbing you again with the same topic.
We still have problem with polygon definition. I'm trying to ask you again, if my polygon consist of one inner linear ring and one outer liner ring and the two rings touch each other in one single point, I get a exception, but I cannot read find in specification why not allow this situation. See my picture. Please let me know this situation is allowed or not. Thanks in advance Balazs +----------+----------+ | / \ | | / \ | | / \ | | +-------+ | | inner ring | | | +---------------------+ Outer ring -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Andrea Aime [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Dienstag, 28.

Simple feature specification 1.1, and yes, if it's a single point, you can represent the same geometry with a single outer loop, whilst if it's multiple points, you can represent the same as a multipolygon (two or more polygons touching) (see page 2-9 in the spec).
