I have a non-matplotlib related project that requires usage of GSHHS dataset
shapefiles.
The regular GSHHS dataset doesnt appear to include political boundaries,
however the GSHHS dataset used by matplotlib/basemap does include
country/border data. I'd like to extract matplotlib/basemap GSHHS country data
& convert it to shapefile format.
specifically, the following files that are included with matplotlib/basemap:
countries_c.dat
countries_f.dat
countries_h.dat
countries_i.dat
countries_l.dat
countriesmeta_c.dat
countriesmeta_f.dat
countriesmeta_h.dat
countriesmeta_i.dat
countriesmeta_l.dat
how can I convert these files to shapefile format, or where can I get
shapefiles that already include this data & that are based on the GSHHS
coastline data?
please help,
thanks,
P.Romero
