Re: [gdal-dev] Can't create feature on layer for polygon

For anyone else having the same problem like mine, I solved my issue just iterating over the wkbGeometryCollection, gathering all polygons in it and creating a feature for the my layer for each of them. On Mon, Oct 22, 2012 at 1:31 PM, Hugo Benicio wrote: > Ok, I've discovered that myPolygon has

Ok, I've discovered that myPolygon has geometryType *wkbGeometryCollection.* When I try to: newDataSource->CreateLayer("test",NULL, *wkbGeometryCollection*, NULL); it fails and returns NULL. So my question now is: How do I create a wkbGeometryCollection layer (if possible) or how do I correctl

Thanks Ari, Travis mailed me the same info. I understand better now. I'm using the data from http://www.fao.org/geonetwork/srv/en/metadata.show?id=37139&currTab=distributionnow to test and it is much more clear. Here in The Netherlands we mostly have land classification already in vector, that's

Hi guys! I'm trying to create a shapefile containing a single polygon, but unfortunately I'm facing an error that I have no clue how to solve. I'm successfuly creating a datasource and a layer with: OGRLayer* testLayer = newDataSource->CreateLayer("test",NULL, wkbPolygon, NULL); Then when I try

2012-10-22 Thread Paul Meems
Hi all, I'm investigating gdal_polygonize.py I'm thinking of using it to convert a DEM-file to a polygon shapefile. I did a quick test using gdal_polygonize.py logan.tif -f "ESRI Shapefile" logan_poly.shp and got a shapefile. But this shapefile is huge, it created a polygon for every pixel value.

Wael, First, make sure you are using the libkml driver and not the kml driver. The libkml driver can read the style information. Then you can get that information in your shapefile by specifically requesting the ogr_style column. Try adding -sql 'select *, ogr_style as style from Layer0' Mike

Wael, There is no support for style information in shapefile format. However, you can store the style info as a regular attribute value. Using OGR's SQL you can extract the style string from the kml data and then store it in the shapefile. Please go through the OGR SQL page[1]. You can get the sty
