He asked about *viewing* the data, and QGIS should be able to do that. One could do the ogr2ogr thing, then view the result in QGIS or ArcExplorer, and iterate. Painful, but at least graphical and easier to see the results than getting it in Xastir. You wouldn't use QGIS to do the subsetting, though. I don't think ArcExplorer can do it, either. ArcGIS could, but who wants to spend thousands of bucks for the privilege? The other option, of course, is GRASS, but that's definitely not for the faint of heart. The learning curve is too steep. But selecting subsets of data would be pretty straightforward with that, and then one would use precisely the same OGR syntax to output it (because GRASS uses OGR to write vector data). -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM In some cultures what I do would be considered normal. -- Ineffective daily affirmation _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
