Module Import Shapes

The "OGR Vector Data Import" module imports vector data from various file/database formats using the "Geospatial Data Abstraction Library" (GDAL) by Frank Warmerdam. For more information have a look at the GDAL homepage:
http://www.gdal.org

GDAL Version:1.7.3

Following raster formats are currently supported:
