A colleague was staring at his monitor trying to figure out how to clip 
a portion of a Shapefile using a rectangular image as a mask using 
Matlab. Sidenote: the rect mask was "tilted," that is, its rect bounding 
box was bigger than the actual mask image.

I started wondering if I could do this with PDL. Matlab can read a 
Shapefile (a vector format) and essentially convert it into a gridded 
data set. I am assuming something to the effect of 1s for the inside and 
0s for the outside (or some other value for the inside based on an 
attribute column).

Question -- Is there a way to read in a Shapefile into PDL?
