This new implementation is based on
http://github.com/imbcmdth/RTree/, with only a few modifications
to add the optional type and provide the API of the previous
implementation.
There is still room for optimization, but this is such an
improvement over the previous RTree already that it's worth
bringing it in now.
Add a parser (read/write) for OGC Well-Known-Text (WKT). It deals with
geometries only, not with features, mostly because WKT can only contain a
single geometry (or geometry collection). This can later on be used to
serialize and deserialize geometries in ol3.
This adds a parser (read/write) for GML v2 and v3. GML v3 is limited to the
simple features profile of GML 3.1.1, just like OpenLayers 2 was. This will
be the basis for the WFS parser, but it only makes sense to continue this work
once feature modification (insert, update, delete) is in place in ol3. So the
WFS parser will be another pull request.
This also involves some modifications to the xmleql functionality now that
it was tested with a real-life case (KML). Also, some of the input KML files
needed to be changed since we currently cannot roundtrip 100% of the input.
As suggested by @tschaub in #674, geom.pointInPoly is not needed
if we have geom.LinearRing#containsCoordinate. This pull request
also adds tests and documentation on the limitations of the
containsCoordinate method.
I think for now it is ok to keep geometry/topology functions as
simple as possible in ol3. If we decide to not rely on third
party libraries like jsts for topology operations, we can always
refine what we have and e.g. port topology operations over from
ol2.
This adds some improvements for the xmleql test assertion. When passed in a
document, use the documentElement. Also improve error reporting as suggested
by @tschaub.
This adds ol.parser.ogc.KML which can be used to read and write KML documents.
NetworkLinks are retrieved asynchronously.
Current caveats of the implementation are:
* LabelStyle not yet implemented. Missing support in renderers.
* When using shared structures the parser needs to be configured with
dimension 2.
* We need a better way to disable fill, currently we use opacity as a
workaround.
* We cannot really roundtrip documents, since some of the info is not
preserved in the ol structures. But we can write out most of the important
info.
