Generate Shapes


Description

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
