 18.3 Supported Spatial Data Formats
 ===================================
 
 This section describes the standard spatial data formats that are used
 to represent geometry objects in queries.  They are:
 
    * Well-Known Text (WKT) format
 
    * Well-Known Binary (WKB) format
 
 
 Internally, MySQL stores geometry values in a format that is not
 identical to either WKT or WKB format.
