[Gdal-dev] OGR Python examples

[Tyler Mitchell]

I'm starting into OGR with python and am having fun reading ogr.py and
trying out my own little examples.
I've got most of what I'd call the basics down pat - opening data source,
reading a layer, feature and geometries.

Now I'm ready to write geometries and am missing something.  I've got a two
pairs of coordinates representing a rectangle and I want to create a
polygon out of it and save it to a file.  When I READ geometries I can
figure out that you open a data source->layer->feature->geometry.  But I
can't figure out what objects I need to create first to write to.  I've got
a data source and layer created, but what next?

Can anyone give me a small example?

I'm trying to stick as close to ogr.py as possible without mixing up too
much with other pymods, but I will consider them.

I'll post my little tutorial afterwards.
