Re: [gdal-dev] MapInfo TAB with WindowsLatin1 into Spatialite

2012-01-19 Thread Dan Putler
Hi Jukka, I think you need to get it to a text form, which GML does. However, rather than hand edit the file, I would run it through recode to convert the character encoding. It would be faster, and not be as error prone as doing by hand. The link to the recode product is: http://recode.progi

2011-03-08 Thread Dan Putler
Hi all, As the message heading indicates, I am hoping to run a check within a python script to determine if GDAL on a machine has been built with GEOS support, and exit if it hasn't. Looking at inspect.getmembers( gdal ) suggests that I'm out of luck, but I wanted to confirm this. Dan __

[gdal-dev] Python bindings to force geometry collections to mulitpoint, multipolygon, multiline

2011-03-03 Thread Dan Putler
All, I am currently running gdal 1.7.3, and it appears that in this version the geometry factory methods to force a geometry collection to multipoint, etc. aren't exposed to Python. Am I wrong? If not, are they exposed in gdal 1.8? Dan ___ gdal-dev

Re: [gdal-dev] grouping shapefiles
