[Shapelib] Reading Shapefile Polygon is Line

[Richard R McDonald]

My Apologies,
I figured it out.  Should have read points as shpObject->padfX[j].

Again - thanks for the great library.

[Shapelib] Reading Shapefile Polygon is Line







Hi, 
I am having some success in reading shapefiles using shapelib and am very 
happy to have found this library.  In the code below I am reading a 
shapefile that I know to contain a number of polygons.  However when I 
read the geometry of the polygons - the points represent straight lines. I 
think I'm accessing the shapefile correctly.  If anyone has any idea's on 
why my polygons read as lines I would appreciate the help. 

thanks, 
rich 



void MeshBCCoverage::importShapefile(LPCTSTR pathName, double xOffset, 
double yOffset) 
{ 
//                        CString fext = openDlg.GetFileExt(); 
                SHPHandle shpHandle; 
                shpHandle = SHPOpen(pathName, "rb"); 
                int pnEntities, pnShapeType; 
                double padfMinBound[4], padfMaxBound[4]; 
                double tx, ty, tz; 
                SbVec3f point; 
                SHPGetInfo(shpHandle, &pnEntities, &pnShapeType, 
padfMinBound, padfMaxBound); 
                for(int i = 0; i < pnEntities; i++) { 
                        SHPObject* shpObject = SHPReadObject(shpHandle, 
i); 
                        switch(shpObject->nSHPType) { 
                                case (SHPT_POLYGON): 
                                        { 
                                                this->createNewLine(); 
                                                for(int j = 0; j < 
shpObject->nVertices; j++) { 
                                                        tx =

                                                        ty = 
*shpObject->padfY+j; 
                                                        tz = 
*shpObject->padfZ+j; 
 point.setValue(tx-xOffset, ty-yOffset, this->curIndex+1); 
                                                        this
->addPoint(point); 
                                                        this
->rbrBandPoint(point); 
                                                } 
                                                this->finishLine(); 
                                        } 
                                        break; 
                        } 
                }
