Subject: Re: [gislist] how to get neighbours list from a shapefile
Date:  07/22/2005 04:05:01 AM
From:  lars lingner



Morning list,

thank you very much for your respond. The hint from Bill Huber was very
good. I can use this as base for my further studies. In long term I will
need an solution which can be automated, but I`m happy for now. And as I
know the basics and the algorithm it should not be so difficult to write
an script or something similar.

Thanks again and have a nice day

lars
