The returned WKT representation of simple feature geometry conforms to the simple features access specification and extensions (known as EWKT, supported by PostGIS and other simple features implementations for addition of a SRID to a WKT string).
To improve conversion performance, the lwgeom package can be used (it must be installed
beforehand) and set the Sys.setenv("LWGEOM_WKT" = "true")
environment variable. This
will also result in faster printing of complex geometries. Note that the representation as WKT is
different from the sf package and may cause reproducibility problems. An alternative solution is
to use the lwgeom::st_astext()
or wk::as_wkt()
functions.
