Hi,

I want to use gdal_contour to generate shapefile contours which is pretty straight forward except I'm working with coastal relief data that has both elevation and bathymetry. I only want contours for the bathymetry.

I tried setting the -off -5 and -i -5 with the idea that this would start me at a depth of -5 and generate contours every -5 units deeper, but the generated an empty files. Seems like -i parameter can not be negative (should be mentioned in the docs).

This sets the depth to 400ft and generates contours every 5 ft above that:

gdal_contour -off -121.92 -i 1.524 bathy-value/crm_vol2.nc.tif bathy-contours/crm_vol2.nc-5.shp

How can I stop/limit the process and stop at 0 (ie: sea level)? I don't want land elevation contours. Like a -limit 0 argument?

If this can't be done, it would be a nice option to have so you can breakup contours into multiple shapefiles to avoid overflowing them

Thanks,
  -Steve
