use of shp2tile and ogrtindex

[Antonio]

----------------------------------------------

Hi Frank,
You have right , "doesn't work" isn't much, here is what I did:
I have already a big shape file with a .dbf with the field "location" 
that point the .tif images and others some columns of data.
So using
shpt2tile -q 4 -n 2 NGS54004L NGS54004smaller
it generate me a bunch of smaller shapefiles.
After that I used
ogrtinedx NewTileindex NGS54004smaller*
to generate a tileindex.
No error and all work fine so far.
I use NewTileindex in two map file. The first one is defined a layer 
TYPE POLYGON and in the second one TYPE RASTER
The first one works fine , I can see what I saw before with the original 
shapefile.
The second doesn't show me any images.

I don't know but probably I have to use gdaltindex to generate tileindex 
for raster layers.
The only problem is that gdaltindex use a .tif images and then I lost 
all the info stored in my previous .dbf file.


Ciao

Antonio
