Hello everybody;
First of all, I would like to say that I am quite new in S-57 format
and GDAL/OGR libraries.
As a starting point, I downloaded the source codes and built the whole
GDAL library on my computer,
using the "nmake" of Visual Studio 2008.
Now:
poDS = OGRSFDriverRegistrar::Open( "US5LA24M.000", FALSE );
for (int i = 0; i < poDS->GetLayerCount(); i++)
printf("layer %d: %s\n", i, poDS->GetLayer(i)->GetLayerDefn()->GetName());
When I try to list the layer names of a datasource with the code snippet above,
I get the following result:
layer 0: DSID
layer 1: Point
layer 2: Line
layer 3: Area
layer 4: Meta
However, the utility application "ogrinfo" gives a quite different
result as follows:
(when run with command "ogrinfo US5LA24M.000" )
1: DSID (None)
2: ACHARE
3: BCNLAT (Point)
4: BCNSPP (Point)
5: BUISGL
...
...
...
49: M_QUAL (Polygon)
50: C_ASSO (None)
I examined the source code of "ogrinfo" under the "gdal-1.6.2\apps\"
directory, however,
I could not find a difference in terms of listing the layers in the dataset.
What could be the problem, is there a point that I'm missing?
