that's a very interesting option ! I think i could write a tool in C++ to do the grouping, and use the original line strings for the elevation lines/text.

thanks a lot

You could also try using gdal_polygonize <http://www.gdal.org/gdal_polygonize.html>, but you'd need to find a way to reclass your source raster to discrete groups (i.e, elevation ranges). This could be done pretty easily using python, maybe something like val_repl.py <https://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/trunk/gdal/swig/python/samples/val_repl.py>.

    Hello !

    I'm trying to generate polygons from gdal contour output. Most of
    the linestrings generated where closed, so it's not a too bad
    start. The problem is to define interior and exterior of the
    polygon : it seems that interior and exterior has no consistent
    meaning from the linestrings (it makes sense though - a line has
    no interior nor than exterior).

    So what i need would be a method to recreate the meaning of the
    polygon : the inside is where i have ground. To make it work, i
    just would have to transform the polygon to an interior ring of a
    wider (whole area) polygon when appropriate (when it does not
    contain a polygon with a higher altitude).

    What do you think about this ? is there a better/known way to
    achieve that ?
