- | We are pleased to announce a new set of static Map Suite APIs relating to topology, along with an application to test topology rules. Topology is a critical function of a GIS application and we now have a great implementation of this feature. We have worked hard to ensure that we have included the most important cases along with an easy-to-use API. Below are a list of all of the cases we cover. | + | Topology refers to the relationship between lines, points, and polygons. For more information about the concept of topology please visit [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geospatial_topology|this Wikipedia article]]. Map Suite offers a set of static Map Suite APIs relating to topology, along with an application to validate topology rules.

Below is a list of all of the topology cases this sample covers: |
