[gdal-dev] Accessing OGRStyleTable

[Geo Aspects Development]

Sorry, but I have to agree with Alberto - there is actually no way  
(that I have found) of listing the currently loaded styles (for a UI  
dropdown for example), either with the OGRStyleTable or with the  
OGRStyleMgr.
You have to maintain this list yourself.

Plus the OGRStyleTable is not at all private - you actually need one  
before you can use the OGRStyleMgr, and the style strings are passed  
in and out of both classes quite liberally. An OGRStyleMgr- 
 >getAllStyles() method would actually be quite useful, although I'm  
not sure what it should return (a const char ** ?)
