Thanks Jody, At the moment I am just generating shapefiles that can be used to test the performance of a preexisting system. The requirements state I only need the files I mentioned in the original email. I was hoping that I could limit the production of files to exactly what I required (hoping for a little performance gain) since I will be generating 200,000+ and the extraneous files will pile up quickly. It isn't too much of a bother for me to take care of these files upon generation. I guess that's what I will do ;)
Thanks again for your quick reply, Craig Kost -----Original Message----- From: Jody Garnett [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, July 29, 2009 5:44 PM To: Craig KOST Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Geotools-gt2-users] Writing shapefiles (hinder generation of .fix, .prj and .qix files) I stand corrected. This page (http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/Shapefile+Plugin) documents a key you can use to disable the creation of the spatial index. So that is one file you can opt out of - the others are useful information that is not duplicated anywhere else. I know many organizations have a default projection that they just assume for all their data - are you in a similar situation?
