map EXTENT

[Brant Anderson]

Hi Oliver,

There is a tool called 'ogrinfo' included with the GDAL package. It is
very handy.

To get a summary of 'dlgstlndoug.shp' I would type:
ogrinfo dlgstlndoug.shp dlgstlndoug -so

The output would be:
INFO: Open of `dlgstlndoug.shp'
using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.

Layer name: dlgstlndoug

Feature Count: 403
Extent: (285509.105030, 5069677.370139) - (334172.948552,
5109545.047051)  <-- This is the EXTENT value (minx, miny) - (maxx, maxy)
Layer SRS WKT:
