<DIV>My agency works mostly in State Plane Coordinates, and we have many shapefiles that contain SPC-based X and Y. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'd like to just enter the point-type shapefile path and the database path and get a datatable with Easting, Northing, Lat, and Long all in there with the data from the dbf. (For polygon and polyline data, I just extract the bounding box, not all the rings or segments.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Right now I am getting the SPC data out of the shapefiles and putting it into a datatable, then using CorpsCon to find the Lats and Longs, but I'd like to get rid of that step.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am fairly familiar with Python, but not with GIS data, per se. Is there anything in FWTools or Shapefile lib that can help me?</DIV>
