Hi guys,<br><br>
I am a developer from Petrosys in Australia, we make mapping software for
the oil & gas industry. We are using GDAL to read in <br>
ESRI Shape files. There is one shape file that looks ok when viewed
in the Arc Explorer program, but when read using GDAL the<br>
multiple line segments come through as a single LINESTRING with 55,000
points. This means there are spurious connecting lines when viewed;
attached is a gif file of the way it looks :- a very strange impression
of the continent of Australia!<br><br>
I was wondering if any of you guys have come across this before and if so
if you can point me in the right direction for a fix. I<br>
don't mind hacking GDAL - but if anyone has any sagely advice before I
hack forth.<br><br>
Thanks in advance<br><br>
Dr. Simon Ronald<br><br>
