Call OGRRegisterAll(); on the line right before GDALOpen();
Martin From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Smart, Gary Sent: Monday, July 20, 2009 2:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [gdal-dev] How do I open vector files (e.g. shp) using GDAL I understand that GDAL can open vector formats as if they were a dataset? E.g. I read that it is possible to pass the GDALOpen either a single .shp file (in which case it treats it as if it only had one layer) or a directory containing multiple .shp files - which presumably it opens as multi layered? However, whenever I try to open vector files in this way (directory or file) I get. ERROR 4 - blah blah is not recognised as a supported file format" I am still new to all this (having only just conquered raster formats) so I suspect I am doing something pretty dumb. Perhaps someone can help? Gary
