Frank,

 I'm all for that approach.  The option should be added to ogrinfo as well 
since it can dump out WKT when incanted properly (I had started to sed/grep/awk 
its output, then I found that ogr2ogr -f CSV would dump WKT geometry).

Many Thanks,
Brent Fraser

I've been experimenting with v1.6.0 ogr2ogr:

   ogr2ogr -f csv test_dir test_in.shp -nln test_out -lco GEOMETRY=AS_WKT

The precision of the coordinates in the WKT seems to be overkill, eg:
"LINESTRING (-115.11433812265155 53.146791166875367,-115.12192424362472 53.147304268559473,

Is there any way to limit the precision?

Brent,

This question has come up a few times in the context of different text
oriented drivers.  I'm wondering if we should add an option to ogr2ogr
(and a method on OGRGeometry) to reduce coordinate precision to a specified
amount. I think I prefer this approach to the alternative of adding creation
options or configuration variables to each driver text driver.

Best regards,
