[Qgis-user] documentation for clip_shp_to_shp

[Werner Macho]

Hi!
Still.. That script has no relation to QGIS and there is no use to execute
it in QGIS ..
That script is a so called "standalone" script that uses the GDAL Binaries
(ogr2ogr)
to execute that script you must have python and GDAL installed and in your
PATH ..

and no .. you dont neet to give anything on the commandline as parameters

the
clip_shp_to_shp(directory, shpclip)
in the last line is calling the clip_shp_to_shp function with 2 parameters
- which are set inside the script before ..
the 2 "missing parameters" are optional as the have default values in the
function definition
(def clip_shp_to_shp(directory, shpclippath, pref="", suf="_clip"):)

Before we dig deeper into it .. Which Operating System are you using?
And .. you should read about installing and using python on your operating
system ..

hope this helps
kind regards
Werner
