Hi!
I am using the OGR MapInfo File driver to read a MapInfo TAB file. However,
the function
GetGeomType()<http://gdal.org/python/osgeo.ogr.Layer-class.html#GetGeomType>returns
0 which means point
geometry, even if the features in the TAB are only multi-polygons.
Is it because MapInfo TAB can store many different GeomTypes in the same
file?
If I take for granted that only one geometry type would always be founded
in the TAB, how could I retrieve it?
driver = ogr.GetDriverByName("MapInfo File")
datasource = driver.Open(os.path.join(dirname,shapefileName))
layer = datasource.GetLayer(0)
geometryType = layer.GetGeomType()
>>>geometryType
>>>0
Even when looping over features in layer and retrieving geometry type using
GetDefnRef()<http://gdal.org/python/osgeo.ogr.Feature-class.html#GetGeometryRef>.GetGeomType()
the result is always 0 even for multi-polygon features.
Is there a way to retrieve the geometry type inside a MapInfo TAB ?
Thanks for your help,
-Max Demars
