VRT File Parameters by RodWing
I've found the example VRT file to import a CSV file containing point data and have been using that quite a bit. Is it possible to import line and polygon data from a CSV file? If so, what are the VRT file tags to do that? Is there any additional documentation on the VRT file tags?
Thanks.

...and "Analyze Feature" showing both business and geometric properties, as well as the WKT property...
...which you may want to disable in the "Interoperability" application prior to performing the "Import" operation. This can be accomplished by using the "Show Properties - Ungrouped' option, and 'unchecking' the WKT item.
