Dear list,

I've created a csv-file with coordinates in WKT-format by exporting a polygon 
layer with the "Save object as ..."-option ("Objekte speichern als ..." in the 
German QGIS version). I need this for querying data from GBIF via their API 
using JSON input. That has worked for the last years. But using the same JSON 
files this year gives an error because the point order is clockwise. I've found 
that according to the OGC standard the order should be counter clockwise for 
polygons and clockwise for excluded areas inside a polygon. It seems as if GBIF 
is following this standard now.

Would it be possible to follow the OGC standard in the QGIS export, too? This 
would reduce the amount of rework after each export.

Best regards
Michael


Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Im Auftrag

Michael Reetz
