9345,Add support for M component to WKT and WKB I/O,Mateusz Loskot,Mateusz Loskot,"This task is related to [http://lists.boost.org/geometry/2013/11/2669.php Changes in WKB (read) behaviour proposal (WKT Part)] discussion on the list.

We should try to add ability to consume/produce the M (measure) component from/to geometries encoded in OGC WKT and WKB formats.

As Barend explained in the thread linked above:

I think a form of user-defined data assigner, similar to dimension assigners, which uses can enable for adapted geometries would be useful.",Tasks,new,To Be Determined,geometry,Boost Development Trunk,Not Applicable,,"wkt,wkb",
