Joaquin,
if I make the following to changes to your code it works for me:
1. include the C++ version of string (insteat of "string.h" include
<string>)
Without this getline could not be found for me.
2. Vertices is not initialized - like said before, make sure everything
is set up correctly - If you put "Vertices = 7;" in everything is ok.
In particular my version of you code is:
[CODE]
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include "shapefil.h"
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
SHPHandle hSHP;
DBFHandle hDBF;
int nShapeType, Vertices;
string shape_name, Col1;
SHPObject *psObject;
double X[7], Y[7], X1, Y1;
X[0] = 220764;
Y[0]= 2343777;
X[1] = 220610;
Y[1]= 2343627;
X[2] = 220818;
Y[2]= 2343477;
X[3] = 221109;
Y[3]= 2343777;
X[4] = 230504;
Y[4]= 2343627;
X[5] = 221102;
Y[5]= 2343477;
X[6] = X[0];
Y[6] = Y[0];
X1 = 220764;
Y1 = 2343777;
cout << "Name of the new Shapefile" << endl;
getline(cin,shape_name);
cout << "The shapefile is: " << shape_name << endl;
nShapeType = 5;
Vertices = 7;
hSHP = SHPCreate( shape_name.c_str(),nShapeType);
hDBF = DBFCreate( shape_name.c_str());
psObject = SHPCreateSimpleObject( nShapeType, Vertices, X, Y, NULL);
SHPWriteObject( hSHP, -1, psObject );
DBFClose( hDBF );
SHPClose( hSHP );
return 0;
}
[/CODE]
Cheers,
Tom
