## Methods
| __init__ (self)
| setDocumentType (self, QString documentType)
bool | write (self, QIODevice device, Marble.GeoNode feature)
| writeElement (self, QString namespaceUri, QString key, QString value)
| writeElement (self, QString key, QString value)
| writeOptionalElement (self, QString key, QString value)

## Method Documentation

To define the type of XML document that is to be written you need to set the current Document Type for this GeoWriter. See
