is_valid(geom_from_wkt('LINESTRING(0 0, 1 1, 2 2, 0 0)')) → true
Returns true if a geometry is valid; if it is well-formed in 2D according to the OGC rulesAdd an is_valid function to the expressions, which reuses GEOS is valid and returns true if a geometry is valid; if it is well-formed in 2D according to the OGC rules.
Based of @NathanW2 workshop at FOSS4g Oceania. I have tested the function manually and confirmed the tests pass, however I can't get my build to produce the help files to check if this or correct. I"m not sure if "Uses GEOS" is needed in the help file.
I'm a python dev not C++ so any help will definitely be appreciated Thanks
