[gdal-dev] Convert kml to Shapefile and conserve polygon's colors with Ogr2Ogr

[Chaitanya kumar CH]

Wael,

There is no support for style information in shapefile format. However, you
can store the style info as a regular attribute value. Using OGR's SQL you
can extract the style string from the kml data and then store it in the
shapefile. Please go through the OGR SQL page[1]. You can get the style
from the special field named "OGR_STYLE".
