Description

Load any shapefile type supported by GDAL by translating to a CSV shapefile into a GeoShape-Struct. Input is not translated if it is already a CSV shapefile

This function relies on GDAL > 1.8.

This function nominally supports all formats GDAL can read, though it uses the native davinci reader first before trying GDAL.

Arguments and Return Values

Arguments: File name

Return Value: A davinci Geo-Struct with the data

Usage

Syntax: read_geoshape(filename [,opts=STRING])

filename - input full path to data

opts- additional ogr2ogr options (Default is "")
