    WktImportFlags Enumeration
    In This Topic
    Specifies the flags that control the behavior of the GeometryEngine.ImportFromWKT method.
    Syntax
    Members
    MemberDescription
    WktImportDefaults Assumes the geometry comes from a trusted source and is topologically simple.
    WktImportNonTrusted Does not assume that the input string represents a topologically simple geometry.
