[Gdal-dev] Measured Values for Shapefile read & write

Craig,
We would like our product to ingest any type of shape file (projected or
lat/lon) and be able to run with it. However, as in the "[Gdal-dev] Is
ogr2ogr the tool to use?" thread, I have some shapefile data from the
USGS/Hydro1k project that is projected from a point and all of the
values in the polygons are x,y values. I needed to convert to a Lat/Lon
shapefile. I did it via ogr2ogr and the resulting output was placed 17km
north of reality.
I was looking for a kludgy fudge factor ;-)

Dean,
Are you referring to an offset, in the sense you have a point on
a line and you want to project it 100 meters off to the left side (90
degrees) of the line? In that case, no, but I'm pretty sure that can
already be performed with the ogr library as it is now.
I'm referring to measured values (M-values) that are included in
the geometry and can be used for dynamic segmentation.
(Sorry for the repeated message, I left the mailing list off my
initial reply)

Craig,
Would this be like a projected shape file (i.e. x,y off
of a median) ?

Hi,
I performed a hack to the OGR source in order to
read and write shapefiles with measured values. If others may find this
of value, I'll work on a patch?
Also, the SDE driver only provides read access.
Is there some technical or proprietary issues with performing write
access to SDE? or has this not been developed due to a lack of interest?
Thanks,
Craig Hunter.
