Tool Generate Shapes
The tool allows one to generate point, line or polygon shapes from a table with the following attribute fields:
- identifier
- x coordinate
- y coordinate
- optional: z coordinate (this will create a 3D shapefile)
The table must be sorted in vertex order.
The identifier has different meanings:
* Point Shapes: The identifier is arbitrary
* Line Shapes: The identifier is unique for each line
* Polygon Shapes: The identifier is unique for each polygon; the first polygon vertex may but must not be duplicated in order to close the polygon
