================== Tryton GIS backend ================== Tryton GIS (`Geographic Information System <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_information_system>`_) adds support for geospatial data to Tryton. It adds new *Field types* like *Point*, *LineString* and *MultiPolygon*. The intended use is to write GIS data directly into the database with an `existing GIS software <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostGIS#Users>`_. For using these Tryton GIS, the `PostGIS <https://postgis.net/>`_ extension must be installed on the database and the database ``uri`` in the ``[database]`` sectionn of the configuration must start with: ``postgis://`` instead of ``postgresql://``. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 fields releases
