[gdal-dev] OgrInfo ShapeFile Extents Report

[David Baker (Geoscience)]

Frank,

Thanks...  Is there a method in org that scans all geometries or will I have to iterate through myself?

GetExtent() is optimized by the shapefile driver to report the extents
from the file header rather than scanning the data as most drivers do.
