[gdal-dev] Shape files 3D -> 2D

[Chaitanya kumar CH]

Christoph,

It looks like all three methods are working as they should.

In the first one, the ogr2ogr converts it to two dimensions,.
In the second one, the shapefile driver does that.
In the third method you are getting the geometry type, which is in wkb
format. I would guess them to contain the 3D lines you processed in the
previous two methods.
