Good point, Ken.
Maybe even better would be toWKT() and toWKB() methods - that would be
very explicit about what is being returned.

I think that it's reasonable that the methods toString and toText are
the same, but the toString output shouldn't be relied on for WKT
representations--typically toString contains whatever the author of
the API feels is useful to know about the object and its format may
change in future implementations unless the JavaDoc defines and
commits to maintain a given format into the future. The toText is
expected conform to the WKT format

Hello All,
I'm just looking for a little clarification on converting a Geometry
to it's WKT representation. It looks to me like Geometry#toString
and Geometry#toText produce the same result. Is there any reason to
use one over the other? Given both these return the WKT, why would
one choose to use the WKTWriter#write method?
Thanks!
