[Gdal-dev] hi, does GDAL supports shapefile?

[Jason]

hi, thanks for the replies.

I have another problem.
As for OGRPolygon Class Reference, there has a method name: virtual
int  PointOnSurface (OGRPoint *poPoint) const

Is this method provides a polygon point array? But how can I know
about the total number of OGRPoint objects in this point array?

Thanks.
