[Gdal-dev] Status Report KML Driver

[Jens Oberender]

Hi

As requested a status report for the kml driver as of today.

Working:
- reading and parsing the kml file works
- the vector part decides about what elements are layers and what features
- exporting simple Point layers/features (test with ogr2ogr into a shapefile, 
only names are converted to fields yet)

Not yet implemented:
- exporting LineString and Polygon
- export with filters
- exporting more tags as fields
- get the layer extend
- special case handling (GeometryCollections)

Summary:
The base work is done, now the data can be handled and special cases need to 
be detected and shipped around. I would guess about one week of work to 
finish that.

Future:
The base (KML class) is written, so writing a child for rasters (analog to the 
KMLvector class) shouldn't be too hard.

Bye
	Jens
