[Shapelib] Example of how to create a shapefile

[Kleymeyer, Alan]

Can someone provide an examples of creating a shapefile.

 

I've tried the following sequence:

 

SHPCreate(SHPT_MULTIPOINTZ)

SHPCreateSimpleObject(SHPT_MULTIPOINTZ)

SHPWriteObject()

SHPDestroyObject()

SHPClose();

 

which appears to create the .SHP & .SHX just fine.

However ArcMap fails to load it reporting "Error opening feature class"

I assume because I haven't created a .DBF file.

What exactly do I need to write to the .DBF file?

 

Thanks,

Alan
