[gdal-dev] in memory KML

[Clay, Bruce]

After a bit more digging I am not sure I asked the right question.

 

What I want to do is read feature information from a shapefile or other
data source and get a string that contains the feature information
encoded in KML that I can pass directly into Google Earth.  I know I can
do this operation is I open the shapefile write the KML data to disk
then open the kml file up with fopen then read it into memory and send
it t Google Earth but I would like to save the disk write the read
operation.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Bruce

I know that OGR supports in memory feature classes and it supports
creating KML data.  

 

I could not find any examples of using the in-memory datasource.

 

Is there a way to create KML in memory?
