[geos-devel] Aggregate on attribute

[Paul Meems]

Hi List,

We use with MapWinGIS (C++ ActiveX control) GDAL with GEOS.

We currently have a custom AggregateShapefile method which is not using
GEOS.
In this method we aggregate (union) all shapes based on an attribute. This
method is not working 100% and I'm wondering if GEOS has something similar.

For example I have the counties shapefile of the USA. I want to aggregate
all counties that are in the same state.
I know of the Union method in GEOS, but that doesn't takes into account the
attribute and in this example will result in a shapefile with 1 shape
instead of a shape for each state.

Any advice will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul
