<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hello,<br>
<br>
I am a newbie with GDAL and OGR.<br>
<br>
I managed to create a shapefile following the provided sample : <a href="http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_apitut.html" target="_blank">http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_<u></u>apitut.html</a>.<br>
<br>
The shapefile contains points. Now, I would like to associate labels to my points. I also wish to specify the size, the color of my points. Is it possible ? How ?<br>
<br>
Thank you very much in advance for your help.<br>
<br>
Benoît<br>
