Hi all,
Trying to convert a shapelib program over to OGR and have to say it is
very complicated.
I'm using: GDAL 1.7.2, released 2010/04/23
At the moment I stuck on:
hDSin = OGROpen( "Streets.shp", FALSE, NULL );
hLayerIn = OGR_DS_GetLayerByName( hDSin, "Streets" );
hFDefnIn = OGR_L_GetLayerDefn( hLayerIn );
layerGeomType = OGR_FD_GetGeomType( hFDefnIn );
And always returns: layerGeomType == wkbUnknown
And OGR_L_GetGeomType( hLayerIn ) does not appear until 1.8.
ogrinfo -so Streets.shp Streets
INFO: Open of `Streets.shp'
using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.
Layer name: Streets
Geometry: Line String
Feature Count: 102958
Extent: (-71.888528, 42.156701) - (-71.020913, 42.734315)
Layer SRS WKT:
(unknown)
LINK_ID: Integer (10.0)
NAME: String (80.0)
...
So how do I get the geometry type of the shapefile?
-Steve
