github.com/toastbrot/ruby-shapefile
Pure ruby parser for .shp shapefiles and .dbf attribute files.
Supported shapes:
-
NullShape
-
Point
-
MultiPoint
-
PolyLine
-
Polygon
Unsupported are all -M, -Z Shapes and MultiPatch. They’ll be added when i get my hands on some useful test shapefiles.
The specs are sadly lacking and it’ll stay that way until i get hold of shapefiles better suited for testing.
Implemented using the official shapefile specification at www.esri.com/library/whitepapers/pdfs/shapefile.pdf
Usage: Look at examples/read_all.rb

Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
