Hello,

Thank you for response ;)
I was quite precise - I meant Well-Known Text (WKT) format as example, I 
should probably have written it in capslock. There are other formats for 
spatial database, but this one is quite popular and has a nice .txt 
extension. Nevertheless, I hope there is other possibility than doing 
all the parsing... I know I can prepare some points file. But I want to 
use prepared points (database) instead.
I was looking at manual and I think there isn't an easy way to do it. Am 
I right?

Regards,
annie
