<div>I think it's a great addition to have both the draw- and create-shapefiles capabilities in GrADS now, and have successfully done both from the latest release.</div><div><br></div>As I understand the online documentation, shapefiles can be created using only the "display" command, and that "the shape types currently supported are points and lines...." with lines being contour lines. Are there any plans to support shapefile creation using the "draw" command, such as for creating straight line segments or polygons, as it does for drawing shapefiles?<div>
<br></div><div>Perhaps the developers or another user knows of a way to write shapefiles derived from drawn (not displayed) map features. The only way I can think of is to somehow incorporate the desired line/polygon features within a gridded file, perhaps similar to the way "lat" and "lon" are done, except crossing lat/lon lines.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I am using the OpenGrADS version 2.0.a9.oga.1 on a Windows XP.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div>Stephen McMillan</div>
