[gdal-dev] Question how to use OGRLayerH

[Chaitanya kumar CH]

Alexander,

I didn't understand your requirements correctly I think PostGIS can help you
with the aggregation with just a few SQL commands. If you want to do it
programmatically, you have to loop through the layer's features and add up
all the linestrings into a multilinestring according to your criteria.

FYI, The function GDALContourGenerate stores the contours as linestrings
containing XYZ points. The elevation in stored in 'Z' whether or not it
stored in a field.
