[Gdal-dev] RE: ogr2ogr KML styling

[Randy George]

Hi,

 

I am experimenting with kml output for example:

 

"E:\Program Files\FWTools1.1.3\bin\ogr2ogr" -f KML
D:\CookInlet\Cook-Inlet\test.kml D:\CookInlet\Cook-Inlet\Seismic_lines.shp

 

The resulting set of kml <Placemark> looks like this:

            .

            .

  <Placemark>

    <description><![CDATA[

      <b>DESCRIPTIO:</b> <i>293U-39</i><br />

      <b>SHOTBY:</b> <i>OIL COMPANY</i><br />

   ]]>

   </description>

         <LineString><coordinates>-152.11768673515135,60.589764421552438
-152.11540114261703,60.592063085951288 ...</coordinates></LineString>

                        <Style>

                                    <LineStyle>

                                                <color>ff0000ff</color>

                                    </LineStyle>

                                    <PolyStyle>

                                                <fill>0</fill>

                                    </PolyStyle>

                        </Style>

  </Placemark>

 

This seems fine except that the default linestyle width doesn't show up on
my GoogleEarth view. I can manually add <width>4</width> to correct the
problem, but is there a way to change kml style output in ogr2ogr?

 

I could resort to a java runtime.exec() with a STDOUT => XMLReader but
wondered if there was a way to merge a style definition file using ogr2ogr.
Perhaps an xslt approach would be better.

 

Thanks
