IDOL Content Component 12.12

# GeospatialType

The fields with this property are optimized for geospatial (distance and location) operations. For a particular field property, you set `GeospatialType` to specify whether you store the location data in a single field or in multiple fields, and if you use multiple fields, which dimension the field property represents.

You can use the following values:

- Unified. The fields with this property store unified location information. IDOL Content supports unified location data in several Well-Known Text formats. See Supported Well-Known Text Geometric Objects.

  For example, the following field defines a polygon with one hole:

      #DREFIELD SHAPE="POLYGON((35 10, 45 45, 15 40, 10 20, 35 10),(20 30, 35 35, 30 20, 20 30))"

- X. The fields with this property store the x-coordinate for Cartesian coordinates. In this case, the associated fields store a single value that represents the coordinate.

- Longitude. The fields with this property store the Longitude value for spherical coordinates. In this case, the associated fields store a single value that represents the coordinate.

- Y. The fields with this property store the y-coordinate for Cartesian coordinates. In this case, the associated fields store a single value that represents the coordinate.

- Latitude. The fields with this property store the Latitude value for spherical coordinates. In this case, the associated fields store a single value that represents the coordinate.

NOTE: IDOL Server treats the X and Longitude types as equivalent, and similarly treats the Y and Latitude types as equivalent.
