shpcreate(1)
create an empty ESRI shapefile ##SYNOPSIS shpcreate shp_file [point|arc|polygon|multipoint] ##DESCRIPTION Creates an empty shapefile supporting shapes of the given type. Shapefiles actually consist of two files with the same basename and extensions .shp and .shx (or .SHP and .SHX) containing the shape data and shape index respectively. The files to create are determined by first stripping any filename extension from shp_file and attempting to create the files shp_file.shp or shp_file.SHP, and shp_file.shx or shp_file.SHX for the respective data and index files. The supported values for the shapetype argument are: point, arc, polygon, and multipoint. ##OPTIONS ##EXAMPLE shpcreate testpolygon polygon this will create a polygon shapefile named testpolygon (in fact testpolygon.shp and testpolygon.shx will be created). ##EXIT STATUS ##DIAGNOSTICS The following diagnostics may be issued on stdout: Shape Type `shapetype' not recognised.

shpdump(1)
dumps as text and/or validates the content of an ESRI shapefile ##SYNOPSIS shpdump [-validate] shp_file ##DESCRIPTION Prints the contents of the shapefile shp_file to standard output in textual format. Shapefiles actually consist of two files with the same basename and extensions .shp and .shx (or .SHP and .SHX) containing the shape data and shape index respectively. The files to open are determined by first stripping any filename extension from shp_file and attempting to open the files shp_file.shp or shp_file.SHP, and shp_file.shx or shp_file.SHX for the respective data and index files. Output consists of a header giving number and type of shapes in the file and the bounds for the minimum and maximum X, Y, Z, and M values appearing in the shapes. The header is followed by the geometric data for each shape in the file. All shapes in the file should be of the same type, except that NullShape typed shapes may be intermixed with any other type. The header has the form See section SHAPE TYPES below for the list of possible shape types. Next for each shape in the file a header giving it's shape_index, it's type type, number of vertices nVertices, number of parts nParts, and bounding box is given, followed by the vertex data of each part. The shape_index of a shape is the number of the shape starting from zero in the shape file. Each vertex has the form If there are multiple parts then the type of the part is appended appended to first vertex of each part, and the first vertex of the second and following parts is preceded by a plus (+) sign. The part type is Ring for all shape types except MultiPatch where it is the type of a surface patch. See below for the description of possible part types. ##SHAPE TYPES Each type of shape except MultiPatch typed shapes comes in three flavours: The normal unsuffixed type, where points lie in X/Y-space; a type with suffix M where points lie in X/Y-space and additionally have a measure value in M-space; and finally a type with suffix Z where points lie in X/Y/Z-space and also have a measure value in M-space. ##OPTIONS ##EXIT STATUS ##EXAMPLE $ shpdump shapefile.shp ##DIAGNOSTICS The following diagnostics may be issued on stdout: Unable to open:shp_file ##AUTHOR shpdump is part of shapelib, maintained by Frank Warmerdam. This guide was created by Eduardo Patoo Kanegae and converted to manpage by Johan Van de Wauw. It was further enhanced with the man page written by Joonas Pihlaja ([email protected]). ##BUGS The -validate option supports only one outer ring in a polygonal shape and assumes that the first ring in a shape is the outer ring. It doesn't support polygons inside MultiPatch shapes. The X and Y coordinates of a point are printed to three decimal places only. ##SEE ALSO dbfadd(1), dbfcat(1), dbfcreate(1), dbfdump(1), dbfinfo(1), shpadd(1), shpcat(1), shpcentrd(1), shpcreate(1), shpdxf(1), shpfix(1), shpinfo(1), shpproj(1), shprewind(1), shptest(1)

shprewind(1)
validates and resets the winding order of rings ##SYNOPSIS shprewind in_shp_file out_shp_file ##DESCRIPTION Validates and resets the winding order of rings in polygon geometries to match the ordering required by shapefile specification. This is useful for shapefiles having troubles when checked with a 'shpdump -validate'. Makes a copy of the shapefile in_shp_file to out_shp_file and fixes the orientation of points in the rings of Polygon, PolygonZ, and PolygonM typed shapes to conform to the shapefile specification. According to the specification, the vertices of outer rings should be oriented clockwise on the X/Y plane, and those of inner rings counterclockwise. Shapefiles actually consist of two files with the same basename and extensions .shp and .shx (or .SHP and .SHX) containing the shape data and shape index respectively. The files to open are determined by first stripping any filename extension from in_shp_file and attempting to open the files in_shp_file.shp or in_shp_file.SHP, and in_shp_file.shx or in_shp_file.SHX for the respective data and index files. The files to create from out_shp_file are determined by stripping any filename extension from out_shp_file and appending .shp and .shx suffixes for the respective data and index files. ##OPTIONS ##EXIT STATUS ##DIAGNOSTICS The following diagnostics may be issued on stdout: Unable to open:in_shp_file Unable to create:out_shp_file count objects rewound. ##EXAMPLE shprewind badshapefile newshapefile ##AUTHOR shprewind is part of shapelib, maintained by Frank Warmerdam. This guide was created by Eduardo Patoo Kanegae and converted to manpage by Johan Van de Wauw. It was further enhanced with the man page written by Joonas Pihlaja ([email protected]). ##BUGS The implementation assumes that there is at most one outer ring in each shape, that it is the first ring in a shape, and all other rings in a shape are inner rings. Polygons inside MultiPatch shape types aren't rewound. ##SEE ALSO dbfadd(1), dbfcat(1), dbfcreate(1), dbfdump(1), dbfinfo(1), shpadd(1), shpcat(1), shpcentrd(1), shpcreate(1), shpdump(1), shpdxf(1), shpfix(1), shpinfo(1), shpproj(1), shptest(1)
