[gdal-dev] Converting contour lines (Shape files) into DEM

2010-03-27 Thread Kishore Reddy
Hi everyone, I am planing to use gdaldem to create relief shaded maps. But the problem is gdaldem takes only DEM files as input. Unfortunately I have contour lines (in the form of Shape files). So is there any way (command line) to convert these shape files into DEM files? -- Kishore
