Visualising WKT geometry string in QGIS


A very simple question: Is there a simple tool in QGIS to graphically visualise geometry formatted as text?


Example geometry:



"POLYGON((571178 6337246,571178 6402217,598061 6402217,598061 6337246,571178 6337246))"



Result:




A layer in QGIS showing the polygon from above.



The intention is to do quick and dirty visualisation for debugging purposes - I feel it is easier to relate to a graphical representation than a coordinate list.
