Subject: [gislist] vpf to coverage / vpfimport?
Date:  06/03/2004 09:05:00 PM
From:  Brian Russo



I want to convert vmap0 (all of it) to something more palatable to
arcview and other apps. I have used ogr2ogr to dump out a series of
shapefiles for each layer (~50). However I want to dissolve this/assign
useful attributes. So far I'm using VPFIMPORT with only limited success.
i.e. I get some usable stuff, but it's really messy.

So, before I spend a lot of time on this, I'm hoping someone else has
done this and can provide some AML snippets/tips. Admittedly I am not
that great with AML but it looks pretty easy/straightforward so far. I
think I'm mostly stuck on the VMAP data structure, and how to glue in
all the attributes/stuff I want. I have some vague notion that control
files will be involved.

I know this is an oft-asked question, but after googling and reviewing
ESRI archives I have no good solution.

Will SUM, heck I'll put it on the web with a bunch of snippets and stuff
if I get a good working solution.

cheers,
- bri
