Hi,
I am very new in this mailing list and I hope I don't ask for something
already posted. If so, please excuse me.
I look a bit in the archive for my problem but found nothing relevant.
I want to tile my shapefiles with fixed extents in order to raster them
to tif files and then to do some treatments in Photoshop.
I use for that a script with ogr2ogr used with the option -spat
The problem is that some shapfiles have a only small part of the extent
filled with data. The result is that the extent of the croped shapefile
is a bounding box of those data and not the extent I set with -spat:
for exemple with "-spat -136 -9 -127 0" I can get a shapefiles with
-130.5 -8.2 -130.2 -8.1
Is there any possibility to get a shapefile with the extent I gave in
the command line ?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Vincent
