[gdal-dev] about reading OGR feature style file *.ofs

[wow]

Hi,
     I have created a style file  border.ofs for a polygon shape file border.shp.  Here's the ofs file content:
 OFS-Version: 1.0
StyleField: ""
DefaultStyle: PEN(C:#000000) 
road:         PEN(c:#FF0000,w:5px)
lake:         BRUSH(fc:#0000FF);LINE(c:#000000)
billboard:    SYMBOL(c:#00FF00,id:"ogr-sym-9")
label:        LABEL(f:"Times New Roman",s:12pt,t:{"China"})
 When i try to get the style, i have the following two questions:
 1. Did ogr provide mathod to get style from *.ofs file, or we shall read it line by line  by users and then convert the style strings to Style Table to be accessed by OGRStyle referenced classes ?
    If it did, when call shape driver to read shp file, dose the driver automatically read the style into OGRLayer? if so, then how can i get style with OGRLayer?
 2. Is OGRLayer::GetStyleTable only available for getting style table from *.tlb file? I try to use it to read the above  file border.ofs   with  these codes:
   OGRStyleTable* pStyleTable;
  pStyleTable = pLayer->GetStyleTable();
  but failed. 
 Please help me. By the way, if someone has examples about styles, would you mail me some?
