Hi All- I know this doesn't pertain directly to OpenLayers, but hopefully this will be of help to someone :) I just uploaded to the arcscripts repository [1] an ArcGIS geoprocessing python script that will iterate through all the features in a feature class (can be done in ArcMap or ArcCatalog) and exports a GeoJSON formatted text file. I used the GeoJSON draft version 6 [2] as the output format. It will also output either all or the specified attributes of that feature. You can even put it in model builder and do some preprocessing of the data (joining data, dissolving or simplifing features) before the export.
I needed a way to empower folks in different agencies to test their vector data with OpenLayers without having to setup multiple, one-off webservices/mapservices just for development purposes. I've got to admit that this was selfishly motivated (not wanting to be bothered by a multitude of individual requests), so if anyone out there can also derive some benefit from this, it would make me feel better :) [1] http://arcscripts.esri.com/details.asp?dbid=15545 [2] http://wiki.geojson.org/GeoJSON_draft_version_6 If there are any bugs/improvements that people come up with, please let me know. -Dejung dejung.gewissler *at* oti.state.nj.us _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/users
