[gdal-dev] Saving shape files in GDAL/OGR

[Chaitanya kumar CH]

Akshay,

While loading the image you need to mind the coordinates of the visible
pixels. When the user clicks on a pixel, add a point to the shape based on
the coordinates at that pixel.
For saving the shape(s), add the shape(s) and their attributes to a layer
and close the datasource to save it.
To save the enclosed pixels, get the extents of the shape geometry and
translate them to the pixel/line of the raster. Make a copy of the raster
to those pixel/line extents.
