[gdal-dev] Changing precision of coordinates in Python OGR API

[Chaitanya kumar CH]

Roger,

OGR doesn't support control of coordinate precision. You need to do this
yourselves.
You can get the WKT of the geometry and and edit the string. If you are
willing to recompile GDAL/OGR, you can modify the code that creates the WKT.
Even wrote how to do this in this mailing list [1].
