DESCRIPTION
Geo::Shapelib is cool, but not portable.
So here is an alternative, if you need just simple shp export.
METHODS
new
my
$shp_writer
= Geo::Shapefile::Writer->new(
$name
,
$type
,
@attr_descriptions
);
Create object and 3 associated files.
Possible types: POINT, POLYLINE, POLYGON (more to be implemented).
Possible attribute description formats:
*
scalar
- just field name
* arrayref - [
$name
,
$type
,
$length
,
$decimals
]
* hashref - {
name
=>
$name
,
type
=>
'N'
,
length
=> 8,
decimals
=> 0 } - CAM::DBF-compatible
Default C(64) will be used if field is not completely described
add_shape
$shp_writer
->add_shape(
$shape
,
@attributes
);
$shape depends on file type:
* point: [
$x
,
$y
]
* polyline or polygon: [ [[
$x0
,
$y0
], ...], \
@part2
, ... ]
Attributes are array or arrayref: [$val1, $val2, ...] or hashref: { $name1 => $val1, ...}
finalize
$shp_writer
->finalize();
Update global fields, close files
