[postgis-users] ogr2ogr GMT to Pg result is rotated -90

[Puneet Kishor]

I inherited a bunch of GMT files, so I converted them to Pg using ogr2ogr

    $ogr2ogr -f "PostgreSQL" PG:".." -a_srs "EPSG:4326" <file>.gmt -nln schema.table

Interestingly, the result is rotated -90 deg. Any idea why that happened and how I could correct it?

Also, I was expecting these files to convert into POLYGONs, however the resulting geometry was POINTs. Is there a way I could have ogr2ogr force the data into POLYGONs?

Puneet.
