[Chameleon] save polygons

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi,

what the ExtractWFS widget does is make an extraction from a layer already in the map. Assuming you have got eg a provinces layer of your country, you can draw an ROI in the map, eg a rectangle, and then the provinces inside that rectangle can be saved into GML or a shapefile.

So this is only extracting existing features, not putting newly digitized features into a file or database, which is what I assume you want to do.

Best regards,
Bart

Btw please reply to the whole list.

Hello Bart,
Can i use  ExtractWFSData widget. Is it possible ton export the XML file 
(GML) directly to MapInfo. Prehaps by using WFS/WMS webservices.

>From chemeleon Help :
The Extract WFS Data widget allows the user to extract data based on the 
current selected layer and ROI. Currently the following formats are 
supported: GML Shape.

Thanks a lot
Mehdi
