[gdal-dev] about reading OGR feature style file *.ofs

[Tamas Szekeres]

Hi,

As far as I remember the OGR style table concept hasn't been
implemented yet. At the moment you can store the styles only at
feature level. If a driver doesn't support the feature level styles
internally then you can place the style strings into a field named
'OGR_STYLE' that can be handled by OGR automatically.

Best regards,

Tamas
