[gdal-dev] MULTILINESTRING to MULTIPOLYGON using ogr2ogr

[Alisson Barbosa]

Hi friends,

I would like to transform a shape with multilinestring in a shape with
polygons using ogr2ogr.

Polygon to multilinestring, I use:
ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" -overwrite "C:/Users/Alisson/Basins3.shp"
"C:/Users/Alisson/Basins2.shp" -sql "SELECT * FROM Basins2" -skipfailures
-nlt MULTILINESTRING

This works.

Multilinestring to multipolygon, I use:
ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" -overwrite "C:/Users/Alisson/polygon.shp"
"C:/Users/AlissonContorno30.shp" -sql "SELECT * FROM Contorno30"
-skipfailures -nlt MULTIPOLYGON

But, this error appears:
ERROR 1: Attempt to write non-polygon (LINESTRING) geometry to POLYGON type
shapefile.

Can you help me?

Best regards,
