Geospatial Objects

Points

A point can be any record that has fields containing the longitude and latitude of a geospatial point.

Shapes

Must have a field called "WKT" which contains the shapes in the "Well-Known Text" format. Kinetica supports the following WKT types: Point, LineString, Polygon, MultiPoint, MultiLine, MultiPolygon, and GeometryCollection. Examples of WKT include:

POINT (1 1)
MULTILINESTRING ((1 1, 2 2, 3 3),(-3 -3, -2 -2, -1 -1, 0 0))
GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(POINT(4 6),LINESTRING(4 6,7 10))

Tracks

Tracks are a collection of points which represent the path an object takes across the map. Unlike a WKT multiline string, each point in a track has an associated timestamp. Taken together: the longitude, latitude, and timestamp in each record describe where the object was at a given time. Tables containing tracks must have a column named TRACKID, where all the points in a track contain the same trackid.

Labels

Labels are text labels located at specified positions on the map. Each label can optionally be enclosed in a box and can have a line pointing to a specific location.
